It would be nice if the Mask tool had a spacing option, maybe under Linetypes? I need to change a bunch of lines types drawn with an incorrect 3/32" spacing and would like to change only them to 6" spacing. They are on a bunch of different layers, linetypes etc, so selecting by spacing seems to be the way to go for this as far as I can tell. Any better ideas? Thanks.

I agree that spacing would be a nice feature to add to mask selection , but I think it should only show up as an option if one is masking by linetype.

It would be nice if symbols could have an option to reload from the "hard drive" everytime the screen is regenerated or maybe to avoid any major delays just when the drawing is first opened, and after a forced save then update. This would not be ideal for most symbols but for things you always want to make sure has the most recent version of a symbol this would be key. I know we could use xrefs to get this type of functionality, but xrefs are a little overkill for repetitive use type symbols and then you loose all of the great accessibility and features of the symbol browser.

I can not see the pictures in Josh's first post and also no way of voting, Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me. I have tried IE and Firefox but no go. Any ideas.

Many thank

Hello Bruce,

The missing pictures may be due to the fact that the hosting site is not working at the moment? And if you have already voted in this poll, then you cannot vote again -- that's the way this phpBB web page software works.
