2D symbol editing

Mats_Knutsson

Hi,
When I create a model and save as .gdl I get the 2D symbol which I can edit easily with simple 2D tools. I discovered that the X,Y size of the 2D symbol follows the bounding box of the 3D object. Is there a way to have a different (X,Y) size of the 2D symbol without having to actually program the 2D symbol?

I find it extremely useful to be able to just do some simple line work in the 2D symbol but when I want the 2D to have another size I got stuck (I know how to program it but I'm after an easier option...lazy bugger as I am).

Cherios,
Mats

Hello lMats,
Would using a FRAGMENT2 ALL with a MUL2 statement preceding it
be to much programing for you
