In Model to sheet, all lines are black 0.5 mm thick.
Ugly to print or to make a PDF.
If I change the line weight to 1 or 2 pixels, it's fine.

Problem : every time the view regens, it turns back to ugly black 0.5 mm thick !

Change lines weight and color
Move the view
Undo.
--->Regenerates back to ugly black...
(All the linked sections and details also regens badly)

Hi jlm

The best way to avoid this is to use custom linetypes with the lineweight color linetype. Create your own types and assign the custom types at the beginning of the model to sheet then they will always regen with your custom types vs the default. In the model to sheet dialog when you first click the tool the linetypes can be set with your customs ones locking them in as default.


It would be nice if the model to sheet logic remembers the line properties the user changes when it regens...

I love SharkFX for 3d mode, but .... 2d mode makes mad ....:eek:

these bugs ... or poor ergonomics, disgusted many users.

It is imperative to rethink the whole module 2d (model to sheet also) and make it much [COLOR="Red"]more flexible[/COLOR].

[COLOR="red"]Personal opinion of course[/COLOR]

Note that I am: demonstrator, teaching in schools, for SharkFX, and so I have a very good appreciation of usability and pedagogy for this software. :o

I believe "Disgusted" is a bad Google translation for "d©gout©" (disappointed)...

Thanks Jedi for the work around trick, but I agree with la mouche : it it a bug.

Why should regen remember the color and parameter changes for hatching, and not for lines ?
