Windows from 2008 won't work in 2009


bonus

Recommended Posts

I opened a file drawn in 2008 in 2009. Windows won't be edited correctly and will not fit in walls as they should.

Maybe my concern is premature as I just installed 2009 and this is the first thing I did. Is it really possible I hit a bug the first thing??? Or is just Murphy's law?

Anyone else having the same experience?

Anyhow this is what I reported to "bugsubmit":

Having problems with windows in a 2008 file converted to 2009.

Window in wall shows falsely in "window setting".

Jambs show falsely in drawing.

Take a window (I used a biparting casement), in 500 mm thick wall.

Do not use wall depth. Set offset to 150.

In settings:

Set interior splay wall to w 50 and d 300.

Exterior splay none.

In the wall detail settings the window in figure is on top, but should be on bottom of the wall opening.

Furthermore the jambs are integrated in the wall. They should not! The recess in the wall should be adjustable and to be set in the wall detail settings. - from 0 to the jamb width.

I also used a timber sill with extension 40 mm. In the setting figure the extension is the distance between the wall opening and the edge of the sill. This is not the case in the drawing.

If you add trims to the window it becomes really disappointing...se attachment.

...and the trims normally do not align with the jambs. An offset function must be added.

Now this was 2008 > 2009.

I drew a new window and new wall in blank 2009 document. Only difference is the offset in wall set to 200mm.

Most problems solved except how window shows in wall detail setting.

And that "draw wall lines" did not work.

Furthermore the wall splays do not follow if the widow witdth is edited.

...and the sill extension automatically adjusts to the exterior trim width - why?

...and there is a gap between the splay wall and the stool....why?

2009 version: see attachment wwiw2

Am I missing something?
