topic - Stop Datacad from turning Line 1 or 2 off after stringline
How do I stop Datacad from turning off either Line 1 or 2 after running a stringline dimension? I usually do Identify/set all when I want to add a dimension and often times it is just a single dimension or two and not a new stringline, only to discover that a line is missing and I have to go back in and turn it on. This has become really annoying and I don't know what has changed. I don't remember it happening before. I want both lines left on all the time...
It saves me from having to scroll through the Layer List and use set active for the Dimension layer (i.e.: L>Set active>Scroll through the layers, then select the layer). I've done it like this for a long time but it was only recently something seems to have changed. I'm just not sure what may have changed, but it doesn't seem to be working the same way I have become accustomed to. FWIW I don't want either of the lines to be turned off at any time...
I have this from time to time after using Alt+I too. What I've found is the running dimension/Stringline used to Set-All already had either Line 1 or 2 turned off, which is part of the normal sequence when using this running dimension style. If you move each dimension away from the other you should be able to see that only one line is set to on. I think this is a carry over from the 'old' days when pen plotters were in use and to prevent the plotter from drawing two lines on top of each other.
A quick way to turn all lines on for dimensions is to pick Change S8 in the Dimensions menu, then Dimstyle and turn Line 1 and 2 on (F2, F5), right click once to go back a sub-menu and by Area, select the whole drawing.. Also don't forget to Alt+I over a dimension to reset it to having both lines on for when you create a new dimension.
DataCAD 12 Revision History: A new key, "Suppress Witness Line 1", has been added to the [General] section of DCADWIN.ini. If FALSE, associative string line dimensions will include the first witness line. The default value is TRUE.
I would close DataCAD before editing the INI file.
Good find - allows users to set all witness lines to be all on by default so when Alt+I or Crtl-A is used on any dimension line it's more likely now to adopt both lines being on.
Help. I have attempted to ass the line to keep both dimension lines active but this doesn't appear to work. I have added the code below. Is there something that is overriding this?
