This may have been addressed before; I did a quick search through the forums but did not find what I was looking for. Is there a way to get the opening trim lines to actually print? For example, when you turn on trim in the drawing, it defaults to show as a red dashed line. However, on the sheet sets and when printing, these lines are not visible and do not print. I have gone through system settings and played around with different options in an attempt to make it work, but I cannot seem to find the correct one. Does anyone know how to make this work?

Why do you need that?

[David Johnson]

My boss wants to be able to show the widths of the door times, especially since we tend to use very wide custom trims on a regular basis. Seeing it on printed plan sets will also allow the customers to have some kind of visual to see how close trim pieces get to the corners, cabinets, etc...

This is my cheat sheet using RB3 Trim.

It's really more of a visual thing, not a verification of clearances thing. It's just one of those details that would be nice to show on the plans if possible, although it seems to not be an option at this time.

Did you check the visible items list?

 

You may need to draw a dashed box over the red dashed box, shouldn’t take too long to do?

[Richard Rubinski]

You could make a detail showing that you have enough room for wider trim.

Or, you could make up a group of boxes or polygons saved as a symbol for the different trim and door sizes you use and place it on the plans.

David,

I am still using a much older version, but have you tried:
File > > > > Drawing Options > > > > Material Options > > > > Opening Options > > > >Sill:
Sill Thickness
Sill Overhang

Obviously you would have to make door sill(s) visible and of course it only displays on one side.
But possibly that would suffice at least for now.

dave what i have bin doing is add a line on each side of the trim and set the size of the trim out to out

[Jon Davis]

I know you can turn them on and off visually in the drawing, but as others have mentioned I've yet to find a way to make them print. I have set them to the correct size though, so that when placing doors near corners or two doors close to each other, I can visually tell if there's room enough for the trim.
