Pipe Rise/Drop Black Outline Fix

Pipe Drops/Rises Symbol Color Fix/Remove Black Outline Issue:
NOTE: Fix this on the background dwgs and the dwgs you will xref it into.
Command line: "Insert"
Scroll down to "Aecb_Other_Rnd_2Line_PipeBreak_Rise"
(This is the symbol that we are set to that is giving us issues)
Insert it at any location, keep the scale at 1:1:1.
Double click on it and edit the block.
Select the entire symbol.
Go to the Properties palette.
Under "General", under "Color"
Change it to "ByBlock".
Then unselect everything.
Click on "Save changes" on the "Refedit" toolbar.
Click "Ok" to save changes.
Now erase the "Aecb_Other_Rnd_2Line_PipeBreak_Rise" block.
If you zoom out you will see that all of your drops have been fixed.

I'm alive!

Good afternoon Bloggers...

I am still here and still digging up new and odd things dealing with ABS07.

Some of the fun recent questions I have had to field deal with diffusers acting oddly, the pipe rise and drops having a big bold black (undesired) outline around them, pipe rise/drop changing symbolic scale for 1/4" dwgs, and the room name and number schedule dragging our dwg speed down.

I will post some answers here in separate posts to help the searching functionality of my blog.

Again...sorry for being silent for so long.

Hope you all have been well!

Happy Pi Day!!!

03-14-09... 3.14

Now the only thing to do is figure out if we should celebrate extreme pi day being truncated or rounded... 03-14-15, or 03-14-16...hmm...I guess we'll figure that out when we get there!

Sorry, I've been quiet on posting recently.
I hope to get some new info posted this week.

In the mean time enjoy your "pi"! :)
