Why is the Load Multiline Styles dialog so small?
« on: February 02, 2011, 10:28:42 AM »
Does anyone know of a setting or a program to make the Load Multiline Styles dialog larger?
I have my acad.mln setup for pipe sizes 1/8" thru 120" and it takes forever to scroll through.

I didn't know people used them.

Maybe Autodesk doesn't think so either. :P

Mine is a lot bigger than yours.. shows about a dozen lines, I'd say.  Also has a PREVIEW of the style in a box below.  But the dialog is only able to resize the preview, not the list. /shrug

Hi James Cannon,
I should have mentioned the dialog is from vanilla AutoCAD 2005.
I use it all the time for 2D piping arrangements. It is easier than running some of the piping lisp routines I use.

In Acad2008 you can stretch the size of that dialog if you select the boundary.

But why are you loading separate files? It's possible load save multiple MLINE styles in one file. After you've imported everything, you can purge everything you don't need.
