Grain symbol

Unread post by CAD_73 »

Hi there,

Is there an option to change the thickness of the Grain symbol?
I'm sure there is, but can't seem to find it :wink:

You can do multiple things.
1.) change the grain symbol line type in your multi-draft template
2.) make your own grain symbol to use

Hi Todd,

I also found the first option, but when double click it asks me what file to open ????
Or do you mean create your own and specify there that TopSolid has to use that one.

Hello, I've gone through these steps to create a new grain symbol:

- create new drawing of grain symbol with desired line type and color
- save the drawing in template folder as shown
- set file path in TSOptions/Tswoodconfig/Files as you have shown

The result is nothing shows up in draft when I try to use the grain symbol. What am I doing wrong?
thanks..
