hi all,how can I change symbol of a point in drawingsheet,for example I have a symbol of small dott for a point and I have to select rectangle symbol for the point so that I can view that point clearly as I have so many sheets to change,so I just want to know how is it possible by catscript?,I am using V5 R12 Sp3

Are these points generated in drafting? If so, do Edit/search for all points, select these points, then change the properties of the point to show the symbol you want instead of the dot.

If these are points generated from 3D geometry, you will want to edit the properties of the views that the points are in and change the symbol of the 3d point.

Hope this helps.
 
hi,

I guess a script can also do the job and if you go that way you should be aware of that :

We had problem because 2DTXT from V4 came BOLD and when we made search "text".. we realize that the selection process can take some time...

So I made a script that did not use selection or small one but then the script took longer.

The script tool each text from each view ( one at a time sheet by sheet)...but at the end, the manual search + selection = 40 minutes and script = less than 1 minute.

You should know also that VBA scripting runs faster than other script...

ps: sorry don't ask for the script
