Good day all,
Question that I need help with - our parter firm does their details in AutoCAD. They've got different line colors assigned to heavy, medium and light than we do.
So, I've set the import lineweights txt file to match ours. Their CAD details linked into our project are linked, not imported. Once we identified the problem with printing, they changed their line colors to match our standard. Problem - when we reload the files, the line thicknesses don't update, regardless of whether we switch out different lineweights.txt files or their CAD files.
So far, the only way to update the project is to completely detach the cad file, then re-attach it. Otherwise, it doesn't read correctly.
Isn't there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
