Markus Barrera-Kolb Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm having trouble being able to specify different line weights for separate parts of door objects. My assumption is that if I specify let's say a 0.05 line weight for the swing (under Door Settings > View > Use Part Line Styles) this setting would override the PIO's line weight, whether it's "by class" or otherwise. However, whenever I print or preview the drawing, all of the door parts print the same. Any help? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It appears that the part line styles only override if you do not have line style by class or line thickness by class set for the door object. Quote Link to comment
Markus Barrera-Kolb Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks Ion! You're right - I overrode the line style and weight for the door object (so they weren't "by class"), and the swing showed up as a nice thin line, just as intended. Seems kind of silly though: I just posted another question where I asked how I could make the elements (lines) within symbols take on the attributes of the class the symbol is assigned to. For instance, I want to use thin lines for all door swings, but I want some of the door objects to be in a class for existing doors, with a ligher overall line-weight, and some of them in a class for new doors, with a bolder overall line-weight. Sure seems cumbersome to have to override the line weights for all of the door objects, rather than being able to control them using classes... Quote Link to comment
