if i open a 2017 file in LO 2018 the line tool responds with a extension at the end of it

this may be the one time i raise my hand and say auto cad now does a good job in that respect

If anyone has any recommendations for engineers we are always seeking help

2017

does anyone else see this,
I get this all the time, layout stops responding stroke button, start stop arrow unresponsive until you restart layout.

Never mind......FYI If this happens to you lower the output resolution

EHHHH So for the life of me i cannot figure out why if i rotate an imported image in layout when i export the pdf it rotates the image back to the original position

anyone?

I usually use a line thickness of .1 for these types of details being the display of screws and bolts

i am not big on scrap books for inserting in my eyes cad objects i use them for boiler notes weld symbols section cut lines elevation symbols etc.

I often generate details of connections for structural framing of steel aluminum etc.. i keep libraries of 2d things like bolts, construction teks etc.... very often these things get washed out in layout, layout has a hard time generating such fine lines, outside of wireframe anyways

i have figured out that if you drag/move the group/componenet forward of the other object say 1/2" the line generation gets a lot cleaner or if you make the object with faces and drag it forward it appears like a draw order in other cad programs

does anybody have any tips they use or care to share to display fine objects in a larger models using scales less than an inch

thanks Bryan, I have done some great jobs using sketchup, i will keep adding pictures from time to time
