A mystery:
We create a new drawing template, establishing point text settings and color (all green for number, elevation, ID code);
We check AUTOMATIC LEADERS;
We create a new text stylefor the point text, replacing the default STANDARD with romans;
We choose the USE AUTOCAD POINT option for the point marker;
We UNCHECK "Use sequential numbering" in the CREATE tab of the point settings;
In the UPDATE tab, we UNCHECK "Allow points to be mov'd in drawing."
We name a brand-new prototype.
Then we start a new drawing using the above new prototype and drawing template.
Upon opening the new drawing and going to point settings, we find that:
Point text comes in RED for point number, YELLOW for elevation and greenfor description code;
AUTOMATIC LEADERS is UNCHECKED;
Point text stile reverts to STANDARD;
Point marker reverts to X;
In the CREATE tab, "Use sequential numbering" is checked again;
In the UPDATE tab, "Allow points to be mov'd in drawing" is checked again.
How can we establish a drawing template that retains the setting with which it is created? What are we missing here? I'm sure it's something simple, but what is it?
I append a .jpg showing just the point text settings, demonstrating how they change between the creation of the template and the opening of a brand-new drawing using the new template and a brand-new prototype.
Thanks!
Very stange, but I am having the exact same problem that started today. I hope someone has a solution for this.
You set these settings in a prototype in LDD and not a template dwg. You then load your settings into your drawing with Edit Drawing Settings unless you allready have those settings in a prototype, then just use your prototype when you create a project. HTH
