Ability to drop all types of Detailing Symbol annotations

Submitted on Thu, Oct 8 2020

CE U 14

I propose the ability to be able to drop all detailing symbol annotations. Currently it is not possible with just the drop tool.

Workflow:

  1. Start Drop tool

  2. Select Detailing Symbol annotation

  3. Accept

Outcome would be identical to the Detailing Symbol annotation but either down to a cell or to simple geometry.

Reasons:

  • The primary reason is for delivery to clients that do not use detailing symbol styles for various reasons.

    • Conversion to dwg

    • Flat sheet models with no referencing (self or external)

    • Projects that are not cutting dynamic views but are using the Detailing Symbol annotation as representative annotation, sections, elevations, etc...

    This is actually a defect in my opinion it causes the detailing symbols to not translate to AutoCAD forcing users to use v8i for accurate translations. Moreover it still works in v8i even with detailing symbols made in Connect forcing us to use the older product for deliverables. A very clunky awful work around is to use a fence clip over part of the symbol and... then fix the results to look right.
