I am looking for discussion on what you would think about the ability to create Partial TextStyles and DimStyles. If this was mixed with Tasks and Element Templates a administrator could build cusom tasks with individual tools to apply the partial styles to the active settings. If these Tasks and Tools could remain persistent in a separate tool frame from tasks, this could be a user definable "Active Styles Settings" Dialog / Toolframe. The outline of the tasks could be something like:
Text Aspect (dgnlib)
I know a lot of this can already be accomplished using Tasks. I don't like the need to duplicate setting like text sizes and aspect ratios for each font. My current work flow is to create one TextStyle dgnlib as a template with all of the Text Sizes necessary for one Template / Font..Then I copy that dgnlib and change the aspect ratio. Then I copy both and chge the font:
Arial.dgnlib (Arial-L60, Arial-L80, Arial-L100, Arial-L120, Arial-L175, ...) Arial-Narrow.dgnlib (Arial-Narrow-L60, Arial-Narrow-L80, Arial-Narrow-L100, Arial-Narrow-L120, Arial-Narrow-L175, ...) Engineering.dgnlib (Engineering-L60, Engineering-L80, Engineering-L100, Engineering-L120, Engineering-L175, ...) Engineering-Narrow.dgnlib (Engineering-Narrow-L60, Engineering-Narrow-L80, Engineering-Narrow-L100, ...)
What do you think?
