DETAILING SYMBOL STYLES AND DRAWING SEEDS

Detailing Symbol tools are used to simplify and standardize the placement of section, detail, elevation callouts, and title text when creating sheets.

Access to the Detailing Symbol Tools is found on the CTDOT workflow by selecting the Annotate tab in the Detailing Section.

Detailing Tools

Two Detailing Styles for Titles are available: 

  • Center Title – Centers the detail title with no detail bubble
  • Default – Left justifies the title with a detail bubble on the right

Note: The Section, Detail and Elevation Callouts will look the same no matter what Detailing Style is active.

Detailing Styles 

Drawing Seeds have been created and are available for selection when using the Detailing Tools. These seeds will auto select the Detailing Symbol Style based on the Seed that is selected. Note: The seeds listed as “Sheet Only” will not create a Drawing Model when the sheet is created.
