Linetype batting dimensions?

When doing batting insulation is there anyway to define its dimensions?

For example, i want the width to be 150mm from center, making it 300mm thick

I know i can adjust the size view of it with the annotation scale, but i would like to be able to define and exact dimension instead, not the scale. This would help a lot when drawing wall detail.

Thanks guys!

I've been drafting architectural stuff since 1971, and never once has anyone outside of school, (the real world) ever worried about the exact dimension of the batt insulation "symbol", especially me. The object of the symbol representing batting is just that, a symbol. Note the size, material, and R factor of the insulation with a multileader, then just put the squiggly line in the wall neatly, and Bob'ds yer uncle. Trying to draw batting "to scale" is sorta like trying to get the conrete hatch gravel thingies to match true scale.

I heartily concur with your assessment big dog. Scaling the gravel is a piece of cake, but trying to make each bit pretty is a whole other matter!

I use a lisp to create various batting shapes basicly they just increase in height to suit but you could put a height factor into the batter computation but like above I dont think the effort is worthwhile.

Just saying it can be done.

haha ok, i'll just stick with the usual scaling system for the batting.

Thanks guys
