Cad64 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 3dDetailer, when you include a quote in your post, please don't strip out the name of the person you are quoting. If you don't know what I mean, please take a look at JD Mather's post #41. Notice in the quote where it says "Originally Posted by 3dDetailer"? We need to know who you are quoting so we know who you are responding to. And lets all please stop with the "WTF". We all know what that means and we all know that is not acceptable for this forum.
JD Mather Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 ... This is what most of your students say.... In my class a professional demeanor is expected. Anyone using offensive language in my class is sent to talk to the Dean before re-admittance back into the classroom. There are more effective ways to communicate.

Cad64 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Please refer to my post #42. I believe I asked that everyone stop with the posting of a certain 3 letters. Was I not clear?
Dadgad Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Use the same layers in both drawings and set their layer properties the same (i.e. - lineweight) and stop the worrying. Oh yeah, and make sure you plot both to the same scale. Re: That post should have read "See post #23" which included a graphic. Not sure how that equates to "talking down from an ivory tower" but whatever as the commercial once said, "Have it your way." Which reiterated a graphic previously supplied in post #13, whence ReMark's sense of frustration, ten posts later. With nearly 30,000 posts on this forum alone, he has quite generously devoted an inordinate amount of his own time to trying to help those who require assistance. All forum members volunteer their help, for the greater good of the cad community. All we ask in return, is that questions or problems are accurately stated or described, and that any responses are accurately read and considered. Such is life on the virtual two way street. Nobody wants to be spoken down to, nor want to have to keep repeating the same information ad nauseum. It's only human nature.
Dadgad Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 3d: The answer to the question you asked in post #16 was provided in post #17. Disable Hide/Show Lineweight. We're just going around in circles here. Follow JDM's advice also and set your lineweight in the Layer Properties Manager then forget it. It's done. Use these lineweights as you standards in your template file and you'll always have them at hand. You won't require a cheat sheet, a block, or whatever you want to call it, to remember. Print a sample drawing using all these standard lineweights and tack it to the wall to one side of your monitor. You can dress it up by putting a nice wood frame around it. Art is in the eye of the beholder. It had already been answered in #13. Yes I agree, if your lineweight settings are saved in your .dwt (template) file, which will also contain common layer names and settings, your sheet, dimension, multileader and text styles, table styles etcetera, you should be ready to roll right out of the QNEW (create new drawing) gate.
Cad64 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 screw it...I'm outta here. 3dDetailer, your last post was way out of line and has been removed. And since you've stated that "you're outta here", this thread is now closed.
