CyberAngel Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It depends on whether your company has standards and how you like to draw. There are pros and cons to both methods. If you use two lines to represent a piece, you can hatch the space between them and attach other objects to the exterior. If you use a polyline with width, you only need to manipulate one entity. Depending on the scale, it may be hard to tell the difference in the printed version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Be carefull using a pline with width when you dimension it will be to the middle of the pline. Not necessarilly top or bottom of plate. Like Cyberangel it depends on your drawing stds if you imply the dim is the height measured from the top side of the plate then no problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Construct the object in 3D and extract the 2D views from the model. The most accurate way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
