Teresa Hull Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I have created a lighting device (I only care about the 2D for now). In the geometry of the symbol, there are some rectangles that got arrayed in a circle about the center of the symbol. When I insert the symbol as a lighting device, the rectangles un-rotate themselves, and they stretch to the outer dimension of the previously-rotate rectangle. If I insert the symbols as a 2D Symbol, all is right with the world. Anyone got any tips? Bug maybe? Edited January 24, 2011 by Teresa Drake Quote Link to comment
Teresa Hull Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 The workaround is to draw the rectangles as polygons. Boring. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How about using the Convert to Polys command? That might the process a little faster.... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted January 24, 2011 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi Teresa Were your rectangles arrayed using Duplicate Along Path by any chance? I have had a small issue with this recently (which is in hand with NV I believe). If this is the case, try arraying your rectangles using Duplicate Array first and see if that makes any difference. If they were not created with Duplicate Along Path,I'll have to think again and come up with a better suggestion! Quote Link to comment
Teresa Hull Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Peter, Converting to Polys worked. Tasmin, The rectangles were created with Duplicate Array, not Duplicate Along Path. Duplicate Array worked fine for the Polys ... it just messed with the rectangles. Thanks for the advice! Quote Link to comment
