Draw in View Query

Hi All,

I've been on a project for the last couple of months that requires me to use draw in View mode extensively. Although I'm happy with the way it works, I do have one big gripe.

When entering drawing in View mode, there is no way of knowing which line type or line width is current. I have to click the icons and check. The line color icon changes to suit the color being used. BUT there is no indication for the previous 2.

Considering this is DRAW in View and drawing lines etc, is the main purpose, you'd think that there would be an indication of type and width in use.

Or maybe I'm just missing something?

I'd never noticed that, but I usually rely on the line style name (Visible, Normal etc). I don't usually have any different line styles other than the defaults.
I would suggest that if you create different styles then include the type and thickness in the style name eg. RED_DASH_3.5
