Pkbldr Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have seen a couple line styles in various user's plan posts that I cannot seem to discover how to make or to find. Specifically there is a "Wardrobe" line that that is like a clothes rod with random hanging clothes on it. Datacad has a line style like that that is called Random Light or Random Heavy. There also is a line style that I'd describe as "Wavy" or "Wiggle". It is handy for illustrating Grade outside of a wall and to show a cracked face masonry. Can someone direct me please?

Joe_Carrick Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Toby, Chief doesn't make that kind of LineStyle. However, you can make a 2D CAD Block that has that appearance or you can download the Bonus Catalog "Closet Accessories" for the Hanging Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Toby Neither of these are perfect options and I think there are better ways of doing it, but both are sort of possible... Using CAD>Lines>Create Line Style, you can use dashes (and/or dots) and text (specifically slashes and/or backslashes and capital letter I's set to a relatively tall height come to mind) to get the clothing on a rod look. It won't be random, but if you size and space everything right it can be made to work decently. For the wavy lines, the closet and quickest thing I can think of is to use either a spline, or a revision cloud (with whatever settings you like) converted to a plain polyline and edited as necessary.

Pkbldr Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks for that Joey, I had seen you used that in your drawing published on CA's website. As usual there is more than one way to skin a cat. Attached is a sample of the line styles I mentioned at a 24" spacing, 6' long, from DataCad. They actually have a large number of line types that come standard and make for very nice 2D drawings. Thanks, Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
