Construction Line Edit All ( Modeling & Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

• Lets you change the color and other attributes of all construction lines that are in your current view ( Modeling ) or on shown comment layers ( Drawing Editor ).
  
  

  display color of the selected construction line(s).

• In multi-user Modeling environments, any construction lines that are in your current erection view can be seen by you only, and therefore any changes you make to them will be seen by you alone. In addition to the ability to change the color of construction lines, you can make them " Finite " or " Finite. " When " Finite line " is checked, each construction line terminates at the two points used to add it. Construction lines added by locating a point then specifying an angle ( ANGL ) are always infinite and cannot be changed to finite.
• The Drawing Editor does not support finite construction lines, but you can use this tool to move all construction lines that are on visible comment layers in your current drawing to a drawing layer of your choice. If your current Drawing Editor drawing is a crane placement drawing , Construction Line Edit All can edit construction lines that are on non-comment layers as well on comment layers.
  
  

  Drawing Editor only

  drawing layer the construction lines are drawn on.

• Construction lines on drawings are not plotted when those drawings are printed.
• Since there are some fundamental differences between construction lines in a 2D and 3D environment, the options shown on the Construction Line Edit window depend on whether you are in the Drawing Editor or Modeling .
