Dimensions & Favourites

Hi all,

Have never really had the need to use the "favourite" fxn in SW2001+ dwg's until now.

I have an empty dwg view (in a dwg) with a layout sketch I am creating for some machinery installation. Basically I have dimensioned basic layout points, but want to alter some of the dims.

Using 'diemnsion properties'-'display', I am able to turn off witness line 'first' and leader 'first'. I have saved this particular dim as a favourite. I can apply the favourite to other dims (they appear in Dim FM as defined favourite) but there is no alteration to witness line or leader...?

Am I missing something?

thanks

djw

As far as I know, "favorites" settings do not apply to witness line and arrow visibility. Mostly, they are used for applying common tolerances, decimal places, and appended text.
