Luancat Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oi pessoal, Qual o fator que faz escolher entre usar "DASHDOT ou CENTER" numa linha de simetria? Do mesmo jeito para linhas fantasmas "DIVIDE2 ou PHANTON"? Obrigado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Portuguese? Are you asking about linetype scale? The system variable is LTSCALE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyuk Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Correct Remark it is Portuguese and it translates to Hi all , What is the factor that makes choosing between using " DASHDOT or CENTER " on a line of symmetry ? Likewise for ghosts lines " DIVIDE2 or PHANTON " ? Thank U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 And what would you take that to mean sparkyuk? Is the OP asking which linetype we would choose and why? I'd go with CENTER and PHANTOM myself since they are pretty much standard across the board for many disciplines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luancat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Sorry! I thougth I'm on a portuguese forum. Is there a factor that makes choosing between using "DASHDOT or CENTER" on a symmetry line? Likewise for ghosts lines "DIVIDE2 or PHANTON"? Thank U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm not sure what you mean by "factor" and "symmetry line". Please see my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luancat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was just wondering if wouldn't have something, a kind of drawing or a specialty where I'd better use either type of line. Here in Brazil, we use to call "symmetryline" some centerlines, that besides being in the center of the piece divided it into exactly equal parts. Don't you use it there?

ReMark Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 As I mentioned in a previous post it is my opinion that the CENTER and PHANTOM linetypes seem to be in standard use across many different fields here in the United States. I cannot say what is done normally in other countries. My personal experience has been seldom if ever have I used the DASHDOT and DIVIDE2 linetypes. Again, I cannot speak for everyone else. Yes, our "centerlines" are the equivalent of what you refer to as "symmetrylines". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luancat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ok, thanks for listening. About the symmetrylines. We tink here that not always a centerline is on symmetrical piece. We give the name "symmetryline" only to those wich divide a piece in a symmetrical part. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I see. OK. Then can you show us what each linetype would look like? Post an example image that includes both and it would be good if you also included some geometry for context. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
