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.
In the Program Preferences, if you uncheck the "Show External Linetype", then you won't have to scroll; except when you Load a new one. Is this what you want?
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".
