Managing Cut Line Styles

February 12, 2012, 07:24 PM

I've decided to open the can of worms that is lineweight settings for our template and ran into something that I like but I'm hoping there is an easier way to control. In the VG options there is an override setting for Cut Line Style (per this post: Fear and Loathing In a CAD vs. BIM World: Wall Component Thickness Not Sickness) but it requires being set in each view template. Is there a way to set this across the board for all walls rather than having to mess with it on a view by view basis? I realize I can set it once in the template and be done but I'm trying to be efficient (or is that lazy :hide and going through each VT is a pain.

Unfortunately there is no way to edit 'cut line styles' globally i.e. object styles. So I’m pretty sure view templates are the most efficient way to get the result you’re after.
