Re: Custom Style for Line
Hello mre,
I am afraid that no it's not possible to specify custom styles for the line or any other tool.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan
Any plans to implement borders for custom lines in the future? We're using PDF-XChange to draw plans and got some new specifications (Lines with borders) which are sadly not possible to fulfill now.

Re: Custom Style for Line
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the post - Even if this is possible to add without breaking ISO Spec. conformance, it's quite complicated to implement and would likely not be viable, as editing in any other PDF reader would most probably cause the line to revert to their tool's default style, as their tool would not have the same "template" for that line style.

Thanks for your quick answer. Thats understandable.
Another question: Is it possible to set the all the segments of a dashed line wider than 4px? (maybe even fully customizable)
Thank you very much!

Hello mre,
The width/size of the dashes will always be kept proportional - but the size itself cna be set to any value. The predefined ones in the drop down go up to 12 pt - but you can click that field and type in any value you want - e.g. 25pt

Re: Custom Style for Line
I'm looking into this functionality for users, as well. Too bad, would love to see this in the future if it ever becomes possible. We, too, are using the software to markup .pdf files on site, and need, for example, to be able to create a line type we could use in the polyline tool that would look something like this:
Code: Select all

Re: Custom Style for Line
Hi msg,
Hopefully it will be possible in the future, but it's not likely to be possible for quite some time.
Cheers,

Re: Custom Style for Line
Hi everybody,
I would like to change the line format, but it seems I can't.
Here you can find the screenshot of the 2 lines, they have the same height but the would have been 8 for the first and 12 for the second
Can you pls help me?
Thanks a lot
Sara

Dear Dimitar, thanks for considering my question and sorry for not answering so long - I did not realize that there is no mail on replyDimitar - Tracker Supp wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:15 am Could you please tell us how exactly do you want to customize the line?

as bespoken before it would be great to have the possibility to create own styles for the lines as for example:
Code: Select all
- - - - - -
Code: Select all
- - - - SF - - - -
Code: Select all
- - - -
Code: Select all
-------SF-------
The more advanced thing would be the line or polyline with a text inside, please see my example
i hope this makes it more clear
Best regards
Christoph

Re: Custom Style for Line
Hello cfessler,
Unfortunately those 'patterns' have to be quite simple and will also be 'repeating' themselves frequently, so a custom style with a repeating text inside is not something that will be possible with a single tool. You can always add your line, and then add the white text over it with a separate tool.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: Custom Style for Line
But would it be possible to add a custom pattern of dashes, points blanks or so? so i could define that on my own? I am totally aware that it would be repetitive, thats totally fine!Tracker Supp-Stefan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 1:29 pm Unfortunately those 'patterns' have to be quite simple and will also be 'repeating' themselves frequently, so a custom style with a repeating text inside is not something that will be possible with a single tool.

Hello Christoph,
No it's not possible to add custom dash patterns I am afraid!
Kind regards,

Re: Custom Style for Line
I would love to see a custom line style with X and O. The engineers here us X to indicate something to be removed and O to indicate something is to be added.

Hello, cadirkin
It has been a while since this topic was last updated, but I need to close this topic now with one final firm statement.
Unfortunately, at the moment, the ISO specification for PDF (as Stefan mentioned a few years ago) does not allow for these changes to occur. As such, until that changes, this will not be implemented, or considered by our Dev team.
Kind regards,
