Great little tutorial James! The trickiest part in my experience seems to be matching the symbol exactly to the original shape that was drawn and copy/pasted. Seems to be half art, half science depending on the size and shape of the original pattern. Are you able to shed light on that? Cheers, Link.
Hey Link, thanks. I haven't come across that problem, the dash length inputted into the settings seems to always match for me. Maybe you can send me a file where you see a discrepancy?
@@JamesBadcock Just start a new project and set your Working Units: Length Unit to feet & fractional inches. If the floor plan scale is anything but 1" = 1'-0" then the copy/paste is wrong. So it seems that the floor plan scale is as important as the project origin.
Amazing trick, thank you so much !!
from a guy who's had 16+ yrs of professional AC use, great tutorial.
neat young YT channel full of little AC tips & gems...
i hope you keep it up.
Thanks for the feedback, been pretty busy lately but I hope I can find some time in the near future.
I am loving all these videos. The 3D Text -> Symbol -> explode -> linetype is brilliant!
Thanks Jared! Just a pity that all the symbol fonts turn to lines/segments, and not curves. Not a big issue though.
@@JamesBadcock I'm still blown away the 3d text can handle the weird symbols.
Great tut on a kind of hidden gem with the font trick!
Thanks Mats :)
Quite good! Thank you. Hope to see more tips from you.
XiaoQiang Yan thanks, will try to make more
How would you do an insulation symbol line?

@@JamesBadcock I think it is different if you start from an imperial template and/or if the scale is not 1:1
I'll try to reproduce it then, but if you have a file, let me know.

BIM6x any bug report ID you have already?
