Swing line for plan view on windows

When doing casements windows I would like to show them open and have a swing line like on doors. Three questions:

1. Is this possible (don't think it is as far as i can tell)?
2. Why is it not possible?
3. ADT going to add this any time soon?

Thanks!!!!

You can have the casement window shown open, but there is not a swing component, as doors have. You might be able to add a swing line by attaching a custom block.

You can set a swing angle for individual windows on the Properties Palette, in the Dimensions area. [You can do this for multiple windows by selecting more than one and changing them all at once.]

You can also control this through the display settings, by setting an override for the opening percentage on the Other tab. This can be done at the system default, style or individual object level. Setting an override here will take precendence over the setting in the Properties Palette.

To add to what David stated, you know that window opening symbols (charettes ?) wil show (if enabled - the style) for Elevation Display. Yuo might need to mess with the system setting to get the display just right, like create a second casement style for fixed casements.

You also probably could create a door style that looks like casement windows and would offer the swing line.
