Hello,
We're facing some issues exporting PDF Files,
We need to display some sketches over 3D views.
But for any reason, sketches lines are displayed with "Phantom" attributes and can't be modified to "continuous" or any other options you may have in the embed Sketch tool in 2D drwing mode.
Could it be possible to edit how sketches are displayed? the main issue is that these phantom lines are not exported as atribute of a single line but as dashed lines so editing your PDF in any vector editing software it's impossible to manage.
Many Thanks

You can create a sketch in the drawing workspace. Unfortunately is not parametric like a sketch from the design workspace.

Hi,
Yes I know that feature, and in that case you are able to edit the appearance of the lines of the sketch (continuous, dashed, phantom, etc)
but theses options are not available for a sketch coming from the Design Space.
Is there any comment on this?
Could it be possible to modify the default aspect of sketches imported from 3D Space?
Or at least could it be possible to convert the phantom aspect in EPS Aspect so Ai would be able to display as Phantom too, but the lines woud be kept continuous?
I don't think that generating all the entiies of a "dashed" line is really useful.
Thanks
and Happy New Year
The sale file exported in DWG works (eg the "phantom" attributes is assigned to continuous line, and you can chnage it)
by the way, instead of dashed/phantom attributes, colors or layers could be useful to be assigned too.
