Changing Structural Shape Size using OIP


RGyori

Question

The following has been a source of personal irritation for many years...

 

- Use the detail tool set to place say a wide flange shape. As expected the size is readily found by scrolling the list presented when placing the shape in the drawing.

- Make your selection and the shape is placed in the drawing.

- Now, say you then want to either change the shape size using the OIP.

- The displayed list in the OIP defaults to the top of a very long list, NOT the size of the selected shape. 

 

When working with many different shapes on a given project they tend to be within a fairly narrow range of sizes yet you are repeatedly forced to navigate the long list with each change.

While it does not change the current behavior, long lists in the OIP can be navigated by typing by the characters of the desired name in the list when the scrolling list is displayed. This makes it somewhat faster than scrolling with the mouse if you are a reasonably fast typist.
