Hello
I've set up our drawing templates so that dimensions and other annotations are displayed on a certain layer here DIMENSIONS:
I then assigned the blue color to the DIMENSIONS layer.
But it doesn't change anything, when I create a dimension it always shows in black.
To make it show up in blue, I have to force the DIMENSIONS layer by default.
Did I miss something?
Thank you.
Hello;
Have you thought about making your changes directly in the drawing templates? (*.drwdot and *.slddrt). And to save them of course.
You can also save your Skin Standards with these changes.
=> If this is the case, you should also think about reloading your models if you are working on an old drawing.
Personal note: Save your models to a directory other than the one in Solidworks (by default), this will save you from having to redo everything if you upgrade to a higher version (or reinstall).
Remember to reference this new location in " file location" in the Solidworks options.
Hello
Thank you for the answer, yes I did make the changes in the DRWDOT models and these are stored on a server so that they are available to solidworks users.
But I can't really understand the management of layers(levels), in many software you assign a color, a line style and for example an e thickness, you select what you want to put on the layer and these elements are displayed in the line style, thickness and color.
But apparently it doesn't work, or I missed something.
I'm on 2024 SP4.
Thank you for your answers.
I modified the slddrt but it didn't change anything, I realized that there was an active layer by default (small blue arrow next to the name of the layer).
In the end, for it to work, don't forget to choose " ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD " in the name of the layer:
At first glance, layer assignments in the basemap properties are not preserved
Is the color of the ribs in the MEP checked on default?
