Part V: Creating Drawings


FIGURE 25.7
The Component Line Font dialog box


  1. Open the Component Line Font dialog box for the Bracket part again. This time, set
    the Line thickness to 0.0787, and click OK. You may have to rebuild the drawing to
    show the change (Ctrl+B or Ctrl+Q). Figure 25.8 shows a detail of the corners that are
    created by the thick lines. Notice the notches created at the corners.


FIGURE 25.8
Applying thick edges


  1. These notches are supposed to be fixed using the End Cap setting at Tools ➪
    Options ➪ Document Properties ➪ Line Font. Set the End Cap Style to Square. Click
    OK to exit the Document Properties. In the drawing, select inside the view where you are
    working and make sure that it is set to High Quality. (The setting is found in the
    PropertyManager for the view in the Display Style panel. If it is already set to High
    Quality, then there will be no other view option; if it is not, then there will be an option
    that is set to Draft Quality.)
