Re: Dimensions text

Isn't this behavior (missing text, faint lines) tied more to the PDF application (adobe or preview or browser plugin), the host machine font book and the operating system? For instance I know that PDF treats fonts as fonts (not graphics) and so that sometimes the reading machine will not see a font ...

Re: Print grid...

I have developed a series of Symbol grids that I insert and print... sometimes they're useful as overlays for curved shapes for millwork and carpenters to template.

Thanks for the alt+ new sheet heads up. Interesting behavior on the first new sheet creation... space seems to elicit a return. Second and beyond New Sheet doesn't seem to be bothered by the space in a name. I'm surprised the Duplicate Sheet doesn't copy attributes beyond scale. However, I rarely ev...

I think you're right about a Text Style function since I also see a Paragraph symbol... So maybe a Text Style attached to a Leader routine separate from the Dimension styles?

The default layers (with colors, etc) are a function of the Drawing Manager. In that you can select the default set for each new drawing and you don't necessarily need to use Merge.

Bump :roll:

This is actually a good tip that has been recently discussed in the other forum categories. I have never tried the merge function. Anyone else?

Simple way to end Text Entry

Similar to how "L" works...

Once you've clicked outside the text entry box, click outside and the command is complete.

kohled, your comments just turned on a light bulb. Now this may be something that the UPCOMING release will solve... :lol: We've been asking for more floating windows for things like the layers pallette or drawing manager or line types. Until this feature exists, you could create a grouped object to...

sebG two questions:

Did you try to push the page to one in the Print Preview? Sometimes it reduces the drawing by some rediculous amount like 99.8%...

I've noticed that Locked Layers still have some artifacts or visibility to actions like snaps. This has happened to me actually when I don't want them... like tracing a Fill outline and a snap keeps jumping to what seems to be some far off point... and it seems to be a higher object on a locked laye...
