Edge Settings Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use the Edge Settings dialog box to specify the defaults settings of edge symbols, for the current drafting standard.

Revision

Displays the current standard.

Majority Symbol

Sets options for the majority symbol, which indicates the state common to all edges, using a single collective symbol.

Simplified

Sets the majority symbol to its simplified representation. Accordingly, only the basic symbol appears in parenthesis, at the right of the collective indication.

Full list

Sets the majority symbol to its full representation. Accordingly, if edge symbols are present elsewhere in the drawing, their state is fully indicated in parenthesis at the right of the collective indication.

Leader

 

Arrowhead

Specifies the default leader arrowhead type for edge symbols.

Note: If you select the arrowhead type labelled "By NameOfStandard", the arrowhead type is linked to the leader arrowhead setting of the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master setting change, the arrowhead type setting for feature control frame symbols change accordingly.
 

Arrow size

Specifies the default leader arrowhead size for edge symbols.

Note: If you select the size labelled "By NameOfStandard", the arrow size is linked to the arrow setting of the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master setting change, the arrow size value for edge symbols change accordingly.
 

Color

Specifies the default leader color for edge symbols.

Note: If you select the color labelled "By NameOfStandard", the arrowhead color is linked to the leader color setting of the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master setting change, the color setting for edge symbols change accordingly.

Text

 

Height

Specifies the default text height for the symbol text of edge symbols. If the current standard is a "custom standard", you can specify a non-standard text height. If not, AutoCAD Mechanical toolset restricts you to selecting a value from the list.

Note: If you select the text height labelled "By NameOfStandard", the text height is linked to the base height setting in the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master setting change, the text height setting for edge symbols change accordingly.
 

Color

Specifies the default color for the symbol text of edge symbols. If the text height changes, the color automatically changes to the default color corresponding to that text height. Text object colors are set from the Object Property Settings dialog box.

Note: If you select the color labelled "By NameOfStandard", the text color is linked to the base text color setting in the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master setting change, the text color setting for edge symbols change accordingly.

Restore Defaults

Returns all values to the default values for the drafting standard.
