mike m oz Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I would like to be able to: - define dash style by real units (provide more control) - have the option of inserting text in dash styles so that service lines and the like can easily be drawn - have the option of inserting other lines or objects so that 'fences' and the like can be easily drawn. Would also be nice if dash styles were slightly elastic so that they always have a line portion at each end. The opposite option would also be useful - ie. a blank area at the beginning and end of a line. Quote Link to comment
0 P Retondo Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Great suggestions. I find that the dash-style window is too small for fine dash types - can't see what is going on! Quote Link to comment
0 Catmansound Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Ditto... dash lines are almost there, that extra refinement would be great. Quote Link to comment
0 matto Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yep, good improvements. Dash-styles have been good to us since the early days, but with all the improvements in the programmes graphic engine and such there must be scope for a few tweaks like these. With the elastic line, so that you have soild line at each end, if it could be the first segment of the style at each end, be this a line or a blank. can i add two other tweaks for consideration -dash styles to have names not just a number. it still would be nice to have a handful of day to day(user selectable) styles appear graphically in the attributes Palette, the rest could be listed by name simlar to hatches. -can we define a style to have a blank first instead of a line.

0 mike m oz Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 The wish list has been partly resolved. I would still like to see better control over how the dashes are defined - preferably units Quote Link to comment
