Losing Z when rotating

Recommended Posts

Why is it that I lose the lighting position and Z height information when I rotate a unit on a pipe as I'm clicking the lighting instrument tool, and the Z height information when I rotate in the object information palette? I'm using VW Spotlight 9.5.0 in OS X.

This is a VectorWorks bug with custom objects. When in Top/Plan view it doesn't seem to realize that there is in fact 3-d information attached to the lighting instrument and 2-d objects cannot have a Z height so the height gets set back to Zero when you rotate. If you switch to a 3-d top view and rotate the Z-Height will be preserved. This has been entered as a bug.
