If it is made of steel, I can model it and detail it.

Hi Ilko,

This element is controlled by table in the AstorDetailbase database and look for table DetAcadSettings.

 

The colour can be any one from the ACAD colour Index references,    the special ones like Symbolcentred,  think these are determine by AS code itself.

you can add line in table with a specific index colour.       The other two coloumns do not work as far as i know,  i ask many times for the line type to be fixed, this would help a lot in 2D drawings to control output line types, via presentation.

 

Hope that helps
