Custom Line Style

[keithhe]

Concerns line styles, there are a variety of "canned" styles as we all know, but can these be customized?

 

And example being for Hot Water --------------H/W-------------HW-----------HW-----------

 

But i have a variety of sizes from 1/2" to 4" in a commercial setting and rather that annotate each line separately, it would be nicer to have that "built Into" the line.

 

Is there anyway to customize these??

 

Thanks,

Yes.  CAD>Lines>Line Style Management>Select the desired Style>Copy

Michael,

 

That's great !! Thank you sir. I'll need to go through and try this, but would save a lot of time to not have to separately annotate all the different lines for what they are.

 

Do you, or would you just save as a personal library item?

I see now where it adds to the lines styles. Very helpful Michael !!  Thank you.

I think you will find that you can apply the new line style to a line and it shows up in the line style drop down, but the line style is only saved with that drawing - it is not saved as a system line style.

If you want to save the line style for use in other plans, you will need to save it to the library or your default template.
