In VW 2011 there is what appears to be a new feature when you double click a symbol to edit. Open an existing drawing in VW 2011 to edit. An existing hybrid symbol is in the design. This symbol is created from other hybrid symbols. The original symbol and sub parts were created pre VW 2010 in plan view (X=0 / Y = 90). Several instances of the symbol are placed on the drawing and rotated to different angles.
If you double click to edit any one of these symbols, the specific instance remains in its visual location on the screen, while the drawing boundary takes on the rotated angle. This not what traditionally happened in VW 2010. If you want to use certain command or tools you may need to rotate to a traditional Top / Plan view. Easy to do with Top / Plan View (Command -5)
When you exit from this mode, it is quite puzzling. The symbol now remains visually in the Top / Plan rotation, while the drawing boundary is rotated. The fix is to select Top / Plan View (Command -5) again.
The question is why is the double click to edit a symbol, now rotate the drawing by default and what is the advantage? - Thanks - Peter
