johnny 461 Posted March 29, 2016 Is there a way to have the line segments for dimension different styles? So far I haven't been able to mix styles for the extensions vs dimension lines. I'd like the lines meeting the sides/objects etc appear in a dash format but solid for the actual dimension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommy1 112 Posted March 29, 2016 Just create a new layer and change the line style for that layer. Put the dimensions you want to display differently on that layer. I know this will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glennw 1030 Posted March 29, 2016 Tommy, I believe that Johnny wants different line styles for the extension lines and the dimension line itself (in one dimension string). I don't believe this is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alaskan_Son 2545 Posted March 29, 2016 I think the best you're gonna be able to do is this...copy paste in place a second set of dimensions. Specify one as having only blank segments (new option in X8) and set the other to have no extensions at all. Assign different line styles to each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alaskan_Son 2545 Posted March 29, 2016 Quick follow up. I was away from my computer when I made that last post. I tested that idea out when I got back to the office though. It definitely works but its also definitely a bit of a PITA. Not worth it IMO. Having said that, I still think its the fastest option we currently have. I believe every other option would require even more work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny 461 Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the input - too bad this is so difficult. I realize its a minor thing, but when you have lots of cross lines it begins looking odd. I've tried placing lines but then you lose edit-ability on those lines (lose connection). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
