Definition of line-end-style?

Post by Peter2 »

Working with CAD-drawings (Autocad, Bricscad) I'm searching for the definition of "line-end-styles" like this:

(Maybe the correct wording in English is Butt / Square / Diamond / Round ?)

The screenshot is taken from Autocad-Colortable, but is there a feature like this also here in PDFXChange?

Hi Peter,

Can you please clarify what exact type of feature set you're seeking? Are you referring to document content, or comments etc?

Kind regards,

Hi Sean,
here is a screenshot:
grafik.png
This is a line, made from Autocad. Definition is:
- line = 0.5 mm
- hole (no line) = 0.5mm
- line width = 0.2 mm

You see that the end of the lines is rounded by half line-with (0.1 mm), and so the result is not "0.5 / 0.5 mm", but "0.7 / 0.3 mm".

The question is if
  • this "rounding of the line end" can be modified by printer configuration or
  • if the definition of the rounding comes from Autocad and can not be influenced.

Hi Peter,

You can determine the line ending used by selecting the content and then going into the properties pane and selecting the desired type:
