Centrelines when converting to DWG

[Anonymous]

I've just converted my first IDW to DWG (using R9) and I must say I like many of the improvements over previous versions. However: 1/ Why do centre marks appear twice, once in their own layer and once on the centrelines layer? (at least this is easy to clean up. 2/ Why do centrelines get created as a set of line segments instead of as one line using a centreline linetype? 3/ How do I get dimensions to change to the colour specified by the Dimensions layer? 4/ How do I get the colour of text in, for example, my title block, to change to the layer colour? I'm hoping I've missed some obvious settings. Richard

Agree, they should be contiguous but there is no setting that I'm aware of to make that happen > 3/ How do I get dimensions to change to the colour specified by the > Dimensions layer? Make sure your dimension colour (in Inventors Style settings) is set to "Bylayer" > 4/ How do I get the colour of text in, for example, my title block, to > change to the layer colour? Again, make sure your text style in Inventor is set to Bylayer (I think) Hope this info is of use to you Regards Rory

Rory: Thanks. I haven't played with the settings you suggest so I appreciate the guidance.
