3D Model Outline Setting in Preferences Issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am no longer able to set the "Model Body Outline Width" to zero. I do not want this layer to get created when I build the decal (footprint). So in versions past I was able to accomplish this by setting this field to zero. But now the tool sets this to 0.001 no matter what in the default user preferences (see below image capture).

It will allow me to set this back to zero when I am directly in the "Drafting" settings. But I have to remember to do this for each decal (footprint) I build.

	Edit your user preferences file with a text editor and set ModelOutlineWidth="0". Previous thread on the issue http://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/disabling-model-body-outline_topic920_page3.html

	Use 'Setup' , 'Drafting' preferences to make the default zero. Remember, you'll need to change the environment to 'User' before it takes effect. Alternately, you can create new defaults. See the video's on how to make preference changes.

	Jeff, That was my issue. Going thru the preferences menu will not allow this to be "0". It throws up an error, and then sets it back to match the default Preferences. The only way you can get this to stick is if (as posted before in this post) you manually go into the ascii file and set this option to "0"
