Jake Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I'm trying to mark a dimension from the outer edge of an exterior foundation wall to the centerline of an interior foundation wall; does anyone know of a way to create a dimension line with different linear markers at each end? (in this case, a diagonal line thru one end and a circle marker at the other.) It doesn't seem possible to do so in the dimension preferences menu, but I'm praying I don't have to draw the end markers manually. Quote Link to comment
Robert Anderson Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Turn off the witness line that you want to be a CL and draw it manually. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 RA, This seems really clunky! Can we put in a request that in a future release the customizable dimension dialog includes a line weight setting for witness lines? PLC Quote Link to comment
Davide Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Another (very slow) way to do it. Create a third standard with no markers. Use this one every time you need 2 different markers. Then add a short line per side and thru the attributes palette assign to one line a circle marker and to the other a slash marker. It's cumbersome but at least the dimension keeps working, no need to ungroup it to change its markers. Reality is we need a dimension line that will use different markers at the same time. We can't just change office standards to follow the program. 1 Quote Link to comment
