Dashed workset

[katja.t]

Hi!

Is there any way to get all objects in a workset to be shown with dashed lines? Preferably in all 2D-views if possible. It does not seem possible to accomplish this by using a future-phase, unless I'm missing something? So I´m hoping for worksets.. or is there any other way apart from overriding every line of the object manually?

What is it you're trying to accomplish?
There's probably a better way than Worksets. Filters comes to mind.
But I don't believe there is a way to set a workset to be dashed

We have new doors, windows and walls that need to be shown on the drawings, but dashed as they are not part of our current project. How would you do it with filters?

[DaveP]

We have a Project Parameter named NIC (Not In Contract) that is assigned to all pertinent categories.
Then we have a Filter in all of our View Templates that changes anything with NIC = True to a dashed line.
Sorry, I'd uploaded an image, but AUGI won't let me. Says I've reached my limit.
Guess I've been too helpful.

Add a filter to the objects. Set up the rule that if workset = X.
You've now selected everything in workset X.
In the VG change the projection and cut lines to Dashed for that filter.
You could also add a project parameter as Dave above has suggested and go that route.
