Hi Alex,

Thank you for your response. I used to use AutoCAD LT 98 and created my own linetypes, too; as well as the breaks that I described in my previous post. I hope there is some geeky way to do so in SolidWorks or that SolidWorks will add more customizing options. You can create custom linetypes in SolidWorks (I'm currently using 2007) Drawings, by going to Tools/Options/Document Properties/Linestyle.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Gary Skinner

Greetings,

I Iearned drafting way back in the 1970s, before CAD. I'm using SolidWorks now, and there are some things that I wish were different; that may only be matters of aesthetics, but are preferable to me. To name a couple; in SolidWorks Drawings, the available options for "breaks" omits several, including the type for cylindrical objects, that looks like three quarters of the number eight (8). I also think the size and appearance of center marks should exactly match those of center lines.

Is there a way to create and save such things as the aforementioned breaks and center marks in SolidWorks?

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Gary Skinner
