When you change a style and save it, the changes are propagated to existing detailing symbols that are using that style. You cannot delete a style that is in use.
In this blog, I am focusing only on section callout. You can use same procedure for all types of detailing symbols.
Default style Section Callout symbol contains 5 parts.
Here are the steps to create your own detailing symbol style.
2. Assign that cell library to MS_DETAILINGSYMBOLS_CELLLIST.
Now create a new style and assign all those newly created cells to Section Callout (In the drop down list you can see newly created cells.). You can assign cells to Tail Terminator, Tail Wing, Main Terminator, and Main Wing of Section Callout. Apart from changing cel for a callout you can also change its color, Style and weight from Detailing Style dialog.
As soon as you save all these changes, callouts those were placed with this style get replaced with new cell. For example
In this way you can change display of any callout by changing its cell, Color, Style and weight.
More blogs are coming up so be there.
Hi Mark,
I am hitting walls every where. Thanks again for the sharings, and mind helping me for few questions?
1. Don't know which company uses "Areial Narrow" as the default font for productions! Is there a way that we can modify the default callout symbols?
2. If the answer is "NO" for the 1st, is there any way to edit or modify the wording of the field for the custom symbols. For example, "Drawing Identifier" to "#", "Sheet Name" to "Sheet"?
3. For section callout, must it be a continuous solid line? Can it just have the Main Terminator and Tail Ternimaor?
Thanks again.
