Dimension Styles

[Anonymous]

How can I change dimension styles in drawing styiles of Advanced Steel?

Hi,

We cannot change dimension styles in DSM. We can only change dimensions to be ordinate, relative, etc in DSM.

Dimension styles can be modified in prototypes, in each prototype, and the fastest way would be after modifying in one prototype, if use ADC (type ADC)-select the modified prototype, select dim styles, and Add to other prototypes:

Have a great day.

Hi,

thanks for your reply

so, I can’t print in a different thickness or color the dimension lines and those of the element contour?

You can change the color of your dimensions in the dimension style manager (make sure to use AS dimension style manager). Then just make sure your pen settings are set up for the color you want to change. 

Also, using object lineweight won't do anything unless your pen settings are setup to use them that way.

Hi,

It is probably the Plot Syle. 

I am using Monochrome.ctb, with predefined line weights per color:

I think the default plot style is Advancesteel_monochrome.ctb

Color 143 (contour lines) -I have the set-up at 0.40, but some prefer it at 0.3-0.35.
