VW10 Bug (not volkswagon)

[losolin]

The following bit of code basically creates 4 squares, one for each quadrant about the x and y axis, then rotates them 45 degrees about the origin 0,0.

This works fine prior to VW10, but now the square in quadrant 1 (top, left) becomes a triangle when rotated. I suspect it has to do with the conversion process to a polygon, because if I create a polygon in the same location it rotates and remains true to form.

The criteria seem to be rectangle of some size with the lower right corner located at 0,0 and subsequently rotated about the origin.

If (PLEFT_TEXT = ' ')&(PTAGTYPE = '2') Then FillPat(0) Else FillPat(2);

Rect(-5.0*rCorrectionFactor,5.0*rCorrectionFactor,0.0*rCorrectionFactor,0.0*rCorrectionFactor);

If (PRIGHT_TEXT = ' ')&(PTAGTYPE = '2') Then FillPat(0) Else FillPat(2);

Rect(0.0*rCorrectionFactor,0.0*rCorrectionFactor,5.0*rCorrectionFactor,-5.0*rCorrectionFactor);

If (PTOP_TEXT = ' ')&(PTAGTYPE = '2') Then FillPat(0) Else FillPat(2);

Rect(0.0*rCorrectionFactor,5.0*rCorrectionFactor,5.0*rCorrectionFactor,0.0*rCorrectionFactor);

If (PBOTTOM_TEXT = ' ')&(PTAGTYPE = '2') Then FillPat(0) Else FillPat(2);

Rect(-5.0*rCorrectionFactor,0.0*rCorrectionFactor,0.0*rCorrectionFactor,-5.0*rCorrectionFactor);

If (PTAGTYPE = '2') Then RotatePoint(0,0,#45.0);

It only seems to happen with Rect's that have their bottom right corner at the origin. I tried it with a square and a rectangle, same result. The culprit seems to be the conversion to Poly. This step is performed implicitly just before the RotatePoint() is executed.

Try using the menu "Convert To Polygons", and you will see the same problem. It only seems to happen to Rects that have their bottom right corner at the origin. When converted to a Poly, the 4th point is the one that is omitted.

It is definitely a bug, not necessarily with VS, but with VW. My best suggestion at this time is "Don't do that". If you must, move it before you rotate it, then move it back. As long as Point2 (the lower right point) is not at the Origin, you should be OK.

I was able to reproduce the bug here. We will look into it.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks, Jeff.
