michaelk Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm not trusting a few of my five senses today. I think I'm seeing an Extrude Along Path edit bug. Can someone check me on this before I submit it? It behaves as expected in 2009. In 2010, when in the edit space for an EAP, it won't switch between the Path and Profile spaces. Example attached.

CipesDesign Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Michael, I just tried it and it seems to work exactly as expected... I ran through your exact steps and saw nothing unexpected... Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 I just tried it again on a blank document. 2009 works as expected. 2010 still has the glitch. Do you really still have 2010 SP1? Mine says 2010 SP2 R2. michaelk Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 No, sorry, just updated my signature- 2010 SP2 - Yet still cannot detect any misbehavior in the EAP Object or procedure... Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yes, it jumps back to the drawing and double-clicking takes you straight to the profile not the dialogue as you say. You can however right click on the EAP at this point to get the dialogue. I had never noticed you could jump from the Path edit space to the Profile edit space without retuning to the drawing first. Now I'm grieving a loss I hadn't known: wisdom's price? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Glad you saw it too. After mike m oz pointed out that it worked when editing symbols, I've been right clicking on empty space all the time. But, like you, I worry that I may have been happier before I found enlightenment. michaelk Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I just tried it with a new drawing - indeed the newly Revealed expected behavior is there. A couple of points: There's no need to deselect all to activate the edit profile space, it jumps right to the profile either way. I went in and deleted your path (sorry) and replaced it with a new 2d polyline - now all is bliss in the land of EAP. This is my experience. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 You are correct about the non necessity of deselecting everything and right clicking on nothing. I've tried it a couple times. It sometimes doesn't go amiss the first time or two, but once it does, then it keeps doing it. Try going back and forth between path and profile, that seems to annoy it. In my extremely limited testing polylines paths behave better than polygon paths. But that could just be coincidence. michaelk Quote Link to comment
