Garreth Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi all, just trying to find out if there is a way in plan view of showing flexible duct for air con. Most air con consultants use some cad polyline with a lisp routine that converts it so it looks like a slinky...any thoughts. Otherwise I will just use a polyline. thanks Garreth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I generally use a polyline with a dashed line and choose a very light gray color with a line weight around 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Molding polyline (create your shape first) then apply the spiral duct as the "molding" jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
