Line Weights, Layout, Shape Style, and Door Swings

Wow, massive thread. I’m not even going to read it all in detail…but I’ll add a few little pointers from my workflow:

  • Sticking the door swing sybmol at the top of the door will avoid it conflicting with the Floor (when you have a floor).

  • Sticking the door swing on a tag is sensible if you want it’s own line weight… but this is one occassion where I am happy to put the swing geometry (the curved line) on its own tag :wink: Doesnt need to be grouped or made into a component first, as it’s only a few lines. [ignore this is you’re using Flextools or DCs]

  • I also get annoyed by the “rotate” widget that keeps popping up uninvited !! :smiley: But I do have a handy custom shortcut key set up for “Flip object along X” and also “Flip object along Y” . This allows me to flip and position doors, windows and other things very quickly indeed. I highly recomend it.
