ojardnas Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 How is a scalable symbol created? i.e., to use a section detail mark at 1:1, 1/4", 1/8", or x", can a symbol (or pio) be created that can be brought into that layer at the appropriate size? Quote Link to comment
bclydeb Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 If section marks are your concern - VW has a number of Parametric section, detail and elevation marks built in. They scale between any number of scale settings for the layer or viewports to always the same size. To say it another way - regardless of the drawing scale the Section Ref. marker always displays at approx. 1/2"?. A caveat though - if the marker is placed in a layer which is at say 1/8" scale then viewed on a sheet viewport set to say 1/2" scale, the marker is scaled up (or down) with the layer it is on. They are called Reference Markers and are found in VW Architect. In version 11 the Reference Marker tool is in the Architect Palette. In VW 12.x.x it is in the Dims/Notes toolset palette. If you want to create your own scaleable symbol - I have no knowledge to help you - but you may have to learn VectorScript. Quote Link to comment
