Setting center mark size

[David Watson]

Is there a way to set the center mark size when detailing in v25? Dave

Drawing File Properties:



You may want to set it in the drawing format.

Harold, you speak as if there is another way to set center mark size. Is there? The setting shown above in File Properties/Annotations seems to be a one-size-fits-all setting, and when you click on Apply, the whole drawing appears to be updated to the new setting. For flexibility and for clarity of visual drawing presentation, I would like to be able to adjust center mark and centerlline size, primarily meaning the extension distance beyond the drawing entity, for each mark or line on an as-required case-by case basis. Is that kind of flexibility not available?

The setting in File Properties affects the entire drawing and should be the set in the format.

For individual center marks Right click on the center mark or line and select Edit



Then make adjustments as needed.

Harold, thanks for the tip. I searched both Alibre Help and the Forum without results. Maybe I didn't use the right search terms. Also, I have read through all 741 pages of the Alibre+ Design Digital Book pdf that was available on the Alibre website without encountering the Right Click/Edit trick; I knew about the File Properties/Annotations settings. And by the way, for anyone interested, the Alibre+ Design Digital Book is a very good resource aimed at beginners and intermediate users. I would like to have a similar resource for advanced Alibre features. Best regards, Dave
