Symbol position updated with drawing update

Posted Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:57:26 GMT by Sebastijan Boskovic Sebastijan Boskovic

Is it possible NOT to update symbol position when I update drawing.
It takes a lot of time, unnecessary, to set symbol positions that overlap each other, or structure.

Well draw any model element, column for example. Then create plan view with automatic symbols for framework. Then just move a little bit that framework symbol, and then update that drawing. Symbol will return on its original location...

Hello,

in this case it is better to disable the option "display formwork drawings" in the drawing properties dialog.
Instead of this option you can use the command "grtcmsymbol" to place the multiple symbols on the drawing. Symbols created with this command keep the position after an update.

Best regards
