How to change Point geometry?

[May Kung]

A user here came and asked me how to change the default point geometry from a triangle to an X. He says previous releases of OSD (we are using 9.01 right now) allowed this flexibility. Is it still there?

On a related note, the default behavior is for a Point to scale as the drawing is zoomed in or out. This came up at a previous User Group meeting on how to change this behavior so it didn't scale. Alas, I can't find it in my notes. Any ideas?

I can answer the first one. The shape used to display a point is set by the Line Type. Click Geometry, Settings/Selected, then pick the point and change the Line Type. This is the same as ME10/Drafting. The available shapes are:

Triangle - Solid
Square - Dashed
Circle - Long Dashed
X - Dot Center
Asterisk - Dash Center
Dot - Center Dash Dash
Diamond - Phantom
Plus Sign - Dotted

Thanks, John. :) That did the trick. I'll have to add that list to my webpage.
