Clipping-drawings can now be directly selected and edited using standard Rhino commands, making them much more intuitive to work with. Clipping-drawings are defined as blocks, so you can use familiar Rhino workflows, including: Double-click to edit the drawing. Use Explode to create a static copy …

I haven’t tried this yet, but it seems the right solution to make Clipping drawing more Friendly. Because now ClipDraw are Block @rajaa does it mean that can be placed on the Layout directly? (yes I’m pushing this again :grin: ) In any case THANKS to take care of this part and to work hard to ma…

Hi Riccardo - [image] skysurfer: […] does it mean that can be placed on the Layout directly? First off, I’m not sure how much emphasis you are placing on “directly”. If that is the main concern, then the answer is no. You need to select a clipping plane in model space - which can be through…

Hi @wim , thanks for the clarification, I feel fine with all of them, they seems logical to me. Let me say that having the drawing as block sounds very promising, and I like it a lot!!! In product design we where used to work in 1:1 or more and hardly we use smaller size becasue they tend to chea…

Hi @skysurfer Thanks for trying the new drawings as blocks. When you have 1:1 scale, placing the output directly in layout is reasonable because you can dimension without error. Also the drawing-block will update with model changes. See the following short video comparing showing the block in a de…

Thanks for the video. I’ve to say that none of the two option fit my actaul workflow. The template drawing seem to make even more redundant layers than the standard one. On the other hand using the bySourceObject it means that I’ve to keep my layers object ON while adding dimensions and axis to t…

Do you basically want to have a “Collapse” option to output all drawing geometry (section and background) to the root layer?

No, Ideally the best for me is to have only the TemplateDrawing that stores the category but not repeated layers for each section, so all the drawing come into the respective category once. EG: Curves stores all the Curve from all the ClippingDrawing and I can set the LineType and print options onc…

[image] skysurfer: Curves stores all the Curve from all the ClippingDrawing and I can set the LineType and print options once Ok I see, so you’d like to have a “Name” option in the ClippingDrawings command that forces output under one “root-layer name” (if you use the same for all your dawin…
