[Speaker Object Dispersion Line Weight]

From the GFX you posted I gather you're meaning the outline of the dispersion/coverage area, right?

 

If so...in 2D the weight of that line is controlled by the overall object line weight (set through the Attribute palette) -or- by Class Attributes if the object is set to use them or you are Classing parts and the Class for the given Dispersion Range is set to apply attributes By-Class.  The Line Type (what you perceive to be "dots") is hard-coded as "Pattern Type 3" (the 3rd Pattern Type in the Pattern Pop-Up).

 

So...yes, you can change the weight but the Pattern is fixed.

 

 

Thank you for the reply, this is exactly what I am seeing. I have been able to change the line weight, but it is the pattern of the line that is the issue when exporting. If it is hardcoded it sounds like it is what it is.

Thank you for the reply, I have followed the instructions and I think this is a limitation of the 2d plan view. 

 

In the first screen shot you can see the line weight change to .5 and it get thicker as expected, but is not make up of a solid line it is a bunch of dots (not sure the technical term on this). In the second screen shot I change to an orthogonal view and it gives me the weight I am looking for, but it no longer representative of the conical speaker coverage pattern in the graphic. 

 

[Speaker Object Dispersion Line Weight]

Hello All, 

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the line weight of the dispersion of a speaker? When I export a large drawing as a PDF, it is very difficult to see the speakers dispersion because the line weight is so small. I have dug around a bit, but have not been able to figure out if it is possible to change this somewhere. I have attached a screenshot below so you can see the issue. 

 

Thanks in advance.

EDIT* I ran across this information saying there was no way to do "hop-overs" in the documentation, completely missed the actual hop over tool.

Thanks for the info Conrad, I am using 2020.

 

This was the file I was looking for, I was able to add the items I needed to the list. 

[Adding additions Signal and Conn(on cable) to Device Builder]

Hello, 

 

I purchase ConnectCAD before it was fully integrated with Vectorworks, during my demo someone showed me how to add custom fields to Signal and Conn(on cable), but I do not remember how to do it. Does anyone know where I can edit this list? I am trying to add power to these lists so we can show PDUs and other power related devices in our single line drawings. 

 

Thanks
