Editing Plant appearance chaos

[propstuff]

I've been using the Place Plant tool and setting the graphic attributes. So far so good.

With a number of the plant styles if I edit the Plant Appearance via the OIP, the size of the placed plant spontaneously changes! sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller.

Um?..............wha? ..... {:-O

No discernable pattern yet.

Is this Known?

Edit; New mystery:

I changed the background fill of one of the standard plants to a Gradient.

If I change the size if the Tick at the centre of the plant, the gradient changes appearance!

Send it to Julian

Darrell,

AFAIK the Place Plant tool is a generic LM tool and not one of Julian's add-ons.

Perhaps this has not happened to anyone else?

Nicholas,

Tell me which Symbol it is - is it a VW one and exactly what you are doing and I will try to duplicate it.

I have had quite a few strange things happen with the Plant Tool but not exactly what you are experiencing. I rarely use the attributes as such from within the tool - I have heaps of Plant Symbols I have collected and generally just place them without fills - just a line weight as my drawings are fairly busy.

BTW - you are in Melbourne - yeah?

If you want to email the file - symbol you can from my web site.
