Custom Molding

[DougM]

I need to rework some custom moldings I added to my library. I can't seem to bring them back into a plan for editing. ???? Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug,

That is why I have a plan that I keep all my custom moldings in....just for editing if needed.

[Tim O'Donnell]

assign the profile to a molding p-line, then take a cross section of it and use view2cad to get a a cad outline of the profile for editing...


like tommy, i save a copy of my original drawing so it is available for modification later if need be...except I shift select them and save as a CAD block to the library

Good idea Tim. Didn't think of that. Just tried it and it will work. I tried one of my latest custom moldings. After going view2cad, I had to rejoin some of the polylines to get it closed, but it is doable.

Tim, I like that Idea... over 1000 moldings...it would be nice........normally I just re-import the original profile (dxf files), make the changes and re-file.....I knew there had to be a more direct way. Thanks though for your time.
If your interested in lots of moldings (DXF's)

Tim, Almost forgot, If you use any of the molding from that catolog, be sure to flatten the back side, otherwise the nubs sit below wall surface. Unless the nubs are the majoity surface of the back of molding.
