Tom Klaber Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Right now - drawing labels are created on whatever class happens to be active when you make the viewport. There should be a setting for these to always go on None or a pre-selected class - even outside standard naming. 2 Quote Link to comment
Matt Overton Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 If you use the "Plug-in Manager" to set a default class for the drawing label then they insert in that class even when created inside a viewport*. *wasn't sure if "Create Detail Viewport" but after checking it seems to. Now it would be great if the installer had an option set empty default class to None without needing to go through everyone. 3 Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 That is fantastic. Exactly what I needed. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 @JimW- this is kind of solved. Maybe can be moved back to Gen or Troubleshoot. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Matt, I don't see that this works for Call-Outs as I don't see altering Class as an option. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 This is a very reasonable wish.... setting the defaults of the drawing label should be more straightforward than is is, including class. And there should be a way to set the default class of any PIO Tool that creates an object like the drawing label. Currently only some are controllable using the Plugin Manager. These types of settings should be consistent and easy to find. Kevin (Super weird forum interaction. I posted this response yesterday but it didn't take. @Jim Smithwhat can be edited with the Plugin Manager is inconsistent and doesn't work for everything.) 2 Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I agree. If the VW logic is that everything must exist IN a class and ON a layer, then users should have absolute control over every object's class and layer. And if it is a PIO all the more, since that would assume the user is going to be using that PIO over and over. While there are workarounds, this should be a straightforward thing (ie. pick the class, check the box that says "set as default"). 1 Quote Link to comment
