Add Line style Category

[jquinlan]

I want to keep Line styles separated by Discipline...I would like to create categories under Line styles so i can keep line styles organized like how layer filters work in the autocad layer manager.

Is this possible???

you can create subcategories for the main Line Category.  Each subcategory you create has it's own Line Weight/Projection, Line Color and Line Pattern.  You cannot create subcategories under other subcategories.  Hope this helps

it is possible with some work involved.

if you prefix you line Styles and Patterns with a discipline designation

you would need to create a line style and or a line pattern.

Don't try to make Revit do what Autocad does, try to keep this as simple as possible.

depending on how many line styles and or Patterns you need or want there will always be some issues.

first you want to compare the linetypes used in Autocad to what you need to create in your Revit Template.

each time you import Autocad files into Revit and explode the file all the linetypes are imported and can create a long list of Line Patterns.

it can get messy.

I am in the process of creating subcategories for generic annotations, but not going the discipline route, though. It's more like the Revit categories. I would not go the discipline route because for my purposes it would be redundant.

If what you are doing is for organizational purposes only, you should reconsider.
