yohai Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 hi people, i have the following problem: when i have a detail view on the layout, the text and the border line have the same line thickness. i want that the text will be bold (0.5mm thick) and the border line will be thicker (0.13mm thick). i have tried to change the layer's line thickness, but it effected both the text and the line border. how can i separate between them? does anybody can help? thanks, yohai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You can attach individual properties (color, linetype, lineweight) to entities to overide layer's properties. May do so from Properties dialog or from properties pop-up lists (Properties toolbar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohai Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 hi, i have tried to change it but it didn't help. the text and the border line of the detail view are like one block. any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In that case check the BEDIT command to edit the items inside that block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohai Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 hi, tried it too, but didn't help. because the detail view is not really a block, but it function like a block. so when i do DEBIT it doesn't recognize the detail view as a block.

MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Then call the GROUP command and see if that detail is defined as one. If yes, then use "Remove" button to edit the said border, change their properties and use "Add" button to add it back to the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohai Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 it is not a "group" also. it is a detail view that i made from the model space to a layout. than i am trying to edit it. but with no success yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Are you sure that you are not viewing that through a viewport? You are able to select the said detail? It may be better to attach the trouble-maker drawing, then someone will have a look to it (just strip-out any other content). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohai Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 yes, when i do a detail view in the model space and i choose to put it in the layout it is a viewport (i choose "viewport of original in layout"). but i choose to have a border line on the viewport circle (on the settings of the detail view i choose this option). is that helps?

ReMark Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Post the drawing. An image of the drawing is of no use when it comes to discerning the cause of the problem. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohai Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 see detail view from model space to layout. try to change the text thickness without changing the border line thickness 2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 It's "thickness"? Explode the object and put the text on a layer that plots with a different lineweight. You would rather do it this way.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 That is a proxy graphics object - you will have to edit it in the application were was created or install the required plugin. Or create an AutoCAD native viewport (MV command with Object option) and ad the label as text entity; then will be able to play with their properties.

ReMark Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 All that? I wish I had known before I posted that image which was all done using AutoCAD 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You are right, that proxy graphic can be exploded, so can be edited later in AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Sorry, but that did not happen in my drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'll second that; after exploded the proxy in both AutoCAD 2010 and Mechanical 2010, the results were the same: a Circle, an MText and a ViewPort; in both cases the viewport preserved the original view. If on your workstation the view is shifted, then activate that viewport and fix it (note first the scale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
