GWS Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm having trouble extracting a curve from a simple extrude. Whenever I try it the OIP says that the object or extrude is locked. I'm sure I was able to do this in 2009. I have tried Modify>unlock but to no avail. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment

GWS Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Ah got it. What is different is that when I click on an edge the curve selected would high-lite in red, and when the green tick was clicked it would then extract the curve. In 2010 the curve selected does not high-lite, BUT DOES extract after the green tick is clicked. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The color and thickness for this are set in the Interactive Appearance settings under the Object Highlighting - Tool Highlighting setting. If you have changed this to something other than an Red you might be getting a different result. With my stock settings in VW2010, I am getting the red selection indicator using the extract curve tool just like in 2009 and previous. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 GWS I suspect you have fallen into the same trap I did a short while back. If you have Tool Hilighting switched off you won't see the edge hilighted in red. One of the NNA people was kind enough to point out my error and set me straight. Quote Link to comment
GWS Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I had indeed managed to turn off the Tool Hightlighting and having turned it back on am now getting the expected results. Thanks guys, as helpful as always. (Sorry for the gap in communications...been away for the weekend) Quote Link to comment
