Dimensions & Favourites

Dimensions & Favourites

Dimensions & Favourites

(OP)
Hi all,

Have never really had the need to use the "favourite" fxn in SW2001+ dwg's until now.

I have an empty dwg view (in a dwg) with a layout sketch I am creating for some machinery installation.  Basically I have dimensioned basic layout points, but want to alter some of the dims.  

Using 'diemnsion properties'-'display', I am able to turn off witness line 'first' and leader 'first'.  I have saved this particular dim as a favourite.  I can apply the favourite to other dims (they appear in Dim FM as defined favourite) but there is no alteration to witness line or leader...?

Am I missing something?

thanks

djw

Anyone ?

RE: Dimensions & Favourites

As far as I know, "favorites" settings do not apply to witness line and arrow visibility.  Mostly, they are used for applying common tolerances, decimal places, and appended text.

All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted.
