![]() ![]() ![]() Smaller Scales like 1"=50’ will have a tighter dash pattern than large plot scales like 1"=500’ or 1"=5000’ etc. This has an impact on all Linetypes other than Solid - the patterns of the lines will be rescaled based on this Plot Scale so that at different Plot Scales they still look like a Dashed linestyle etc. In addition the Plan View has a Plot Scale set up in Project Settings - View - Plan View and that may be set to 1" = 50’ for example. When you draw in the Plan View of TBC, when you use Linetypes, they have a Linetype Scale - typically set to a Linetype Scale of 1 by default. So what drives that “long time” in this process. a Layer that had contours on it over a large area that were set to By Layer Linetype and he went into Layer Manager to change the Linetype to eg AutoCADs Hidden 2 Linetype (Dashed) - TBC would take a long time to make the change - as it was regenerating the drawing with the new linetype - for a lot of lines. He called me because when he selected e.g. Pat was looking at Drafting Styles and improving the quality of his output using TBC and trying to use TBC more for those purposes. I worked with Pat over at Severino on this over the last couple of weeks because it was causing him some issues with speed. This is an interesting area that appears to cause us issues when working with CAD files from AutoCAD.
