Marietta Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 For some reason the offset tool is not working in VW12 when offsetting a polygon. It works well with lines and arcs. This happens when I'm in a rotated plan view. I'm getting it to work today when in plan/top view. Is there any way to get the dimension tags for radii to align to a rotated plan view? The plant tags and note tags work well. Also, I sometimes still have problems with the tangent tool not showing me the tangent when trying to draw a line tangent to an arc. Anyone else having these problems? Quote Link to comment

IanH Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Its not quote clear from your comment what your workflow is, but I personally do not recommend using rotated plan view as a permanent way of working. Rotate view is best used as a temporary function to work on parts of the plan that are are a pain when the tool is operating rotated - ie ovals and visually aligning and proportioning objects etc. Once you have placed and aligned everything, set the rotate plan view back to 0. If you want to permanently rotate a view/plan, use a viewport and rotate the viewport via the viewport OIP. That said, I have just tried it with 2009/SP4 and it seems fine with my basic tests however it also worked on 2008 so can you please give some more info. I basically drew a polygon and offset it, then rotated plan and offset again. Quote Link to comment
