Running the 2020.2 update and as far as the new line style ‘overrides’ for tags in LayOut is concerned, so far it seems promising in reducing the number of stacked viewports needed to control lineweight. I quite like the new LayOut selection and transformation improvements. If this is a taste of t…

I am wondering what is the difference between this built-in weld function and the existing weld extension by Smustard? BTW I use Curvizard by Fredo6 for welding.

Possible issue with section cuts…? If in SU my style is for section cuts to be 2 and edges 1, if I set the LO viewport line scale = 1pt and in the overrides I set the wall tag to 0.5pt expecting the section cut linework to be 1pt and the wall linework beyond the cut to be 0.5pt, what I get is a sec…

In 2020.2 you can select a lot of geometry, including faces, and right-click Weld Edges, and it quickly will weld together what it ca…
