Drawing View, Hidden Line Calculation, Margin DEFAULT Value

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have looked through the application options and the Styles & Standards for this.

Since there is not user-configurable value I'd like to suggest a way to add one.

The attached image below is a screen-capture of the drawing view creation dialog box, showing the Model State tab.

I have highlighted the MARGIN field for clarity.  Currently, the value in this field is automatically generated based on unknown parameters.  It seems there is no user control over this value.  Fixing it on every view placement wastes time.

I have 100 drawings to create every month, with 100's of view to insert and most of them needs a margin of about 100 units, not 0.21 as shown.

To create these drawings and views, we are forced to re-type a number in this box.  Every time.  Furthermore, when a view is created without the reference lines shown, it can't be placed in the right spot.  Adjusting the margin after the view is created then requires moving the views around again.  To do it once takes 30 seconds.  To do it 100 times wastes an hour.

To remove this tedious exercise, a default value could be made available to users that is saved either with the drawing template (preferred) or with the application styles.  I can suggest a few places if this doesn't seem obvious.

Thanks.

Steven

@Yijiang.Cai  make it an automatic view calculation check box. Most new users have no idea the purpose of this to begin with.
