Is there a way to have the style of the view mode (rendered, pen etc.) as the output image when using layout. When I print all lines will have no thickness which makes it hard to understand the drawings of this profile of a sofa. Thanks!
I’m not sure I’m fully understanding what you need here. I have a lot of similar drawings with the designs I work on. Fine tuning the annotation style is very helpful. Also sometimes I use hatches to visually communicate the different sections or materials etc, attached a couple screenshots.
@milezee I would like to have the lines for the geometry bigger than the dimension lines. to have a contrast and understand the drawings. Perfect would be a function to have the display modes’ style also in the drawings. As you can easy change the line thickness and such.
do you have an example of what you are trying to achieve ?
As you see I would like the lines thicker or even a Viewport like rendering of the dimensioned objects. As I print the layout all lines would be very thin. Thank you
You can adjust the display mode settings, maybe this might get you close to what you want, see attached screenshot.
Are you using Make2d to create technical drawings from the 3d models too ? You can adjust linewidths etc too.
There’s various bugs with the layout that I’m still working through. Curves seem to behave the best. Other stuff: It’s a crap shoot. Line scaling both for thickness and line types is a little bit broken. Sometimes it prints almost correctly depending on the display mode. It’s so hard to peg down where and what because each combination needs to be tested.
If you always have the same view scales in your detail views you can scale up your line thicknesses. This won’t work if you have multiple scales.
Some display modes allow you to change line thicknesses for edges, silhouettes, etc… This can get you a good looking drawing but limits your control and variety of line thicknesses.
Without going further I’ll just say that things are a little broken and you need to find a compromise.
