TechDraw: file opening time

Post by koluna »

Hi!

I use TechDraw for my model.
I created two pages with six views. And my file is opening longer now!
Why does FC open all my TechDraw pages automatically?
Can I change this?

The TechDraw's toolbars do not save their positions. Why?

The font of dimensions is different after updating. Why?

Because it used to be implemented that way.

Can I change this?
Yes, upgrade to 0.18.

As You think, will the opening time be rised if I add some pages?
Yes, upgrade to 0.18.
I have already had 0.18! :)

I have several dimensions with a different text font. Can I make their are the same?
Hmmm... if I am not crazy, Dimensions had a Font property yesterday. But I am not sure... I have used TechDraw the second day :)

There was a discussion about auto reopening some time ago. Now I made a test and the techdraw page opens on loading if and only if it was opened before. I attach a very simple document which does not open the TechDraw page here.

Thanks.
It is very strange, but it works right now... as You described...
What was it? :)

I have another problem :)
Several Dimension's texts are above the dimension's lines and several texts under dimension's lines. Why?

Text for linear dimensions is supposed to be above or left of the dimension line. If you have a file where this is not happening it is probably a bug. Please post the file. Thanks.

There is a preference setting "Keep Pages Up to Date". If you uncheck this, pages will not do any processing and your load time should go down.

Once you are ready to produce drawings, recheck the option and recompute the pages.
