mjm Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Title says it all: when I have a white fill and swap to black background or vice versa in VW 2011 SP2 the fills do not swap as has been the norm in every other version of VW I have used. True of symbols and 2d primitives so far. Thoughts?

mike m oz Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Michael, I'm not seeing that: - Is your file a converted file or a new file? - Have you checked that it is a true white fill rather than one of the very light shades of grey from the Standard Vectorworks Colors palette? - Have you verified and then repaired permissions? - Have you tried resetting Vectorwork Preferences?

mjm Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Hey there Mike - thx for the quick response.The file in question originally was a converted V12.5 file. I then opened a new file in 2011 and drew a rect and filled it from the classic palette with black (second from left top row in the default config). same result. Am repairing permissions even now. I'll test on a new blank file after that. Hmm: still seems wrong: When I create a rect in a new blank file as described in original post, or employ a symbol from the default ETC folder in OBJ-Entertainment, the fills do not swap when I switch backgrounds in the VW 2011 pref window. I have attached two screenshots showing the test. I started with white background, then swapped to black background. Notice that my imported homemade symbol behaves as I expect it to! By resetting VW preferences d'you mean I should locate said file and trash it and let VW rebuild it? Thx again...

mjm Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Turns out that the symbols fill and swap appropriately when dragged from the resource palette, but do not when the Spotlight 'Insert Symbol' tool is used. I call bug! Edited December 16, 2010 by mjm Quote Link to comment
