We never use the Lines that comes with Datacad but only a few, about 8 of them. For Instance "Wiggle" linetype is at the end....so we would have to scroll.
So I came up with the Idea of Deleting the Linetypes that Our office doesn't use. But some also suggested that what if we start a new drawing and want to use a totally another linetype.
There are lots of walk arounds....But the most convenient would be "Line Manager" with an option to load Linetypes Externally from our library of user defined line types.

Tools -> Program Preferences

Misc Tab

Lower right hand corner there are 2 check boxes. One for linetypes and one for hatches.

Is that what that's for? I always thought it was for "external" to Datacad lines and hatches.

It would really help if one of these days Datacad could have a manual that actually applies to the most currebt version that was indexible. It always seems like the manuals lag way behind the capabilities. And they tend to say "what" to do, but not explain the underlying "why".
