stubborn arcs

[bosco]

I have a problem with arcs.

When I draw, for example, a door or bath etc. in plan, I group all of the elements of the door, including the door swing, i.e. an arc. Then, when an entire floor plan has been drawn, I group all of that together, incorporating all of the smaller groups (doors, toilets, baths).

This is where the problem starts! When I moved the floor plan, all of the arcs stayed where they were, but when I undid this, they all movedaway, the same distance that I'd moved the floor plan in the first place. Now I have a floor plan without arcs- they are all off in the distance. The weird thing is that they are still part of all the little groups they were in originallyso that all of my doors appear as stretched groups now with the door leaf and frame in one place and the door swing miles away.

Please help!

Well if the doors are plug-in objects, all you should have to do is go into the group and regenerate them by touching them on the Object Info pallet.

If they are symbols, check the symbol definition and make sure the door sweeps are int eh right place.

Of course if they aren't plug-ins or even symbols it sounds like you found some new issue we are not aware of.

Is there ant way you have found that you can reproduce this effect? If it was a one time problem there may be no way to correct it other than to ungroup, select all the arcs with the custom selection command and use the move command to compensate for the distortion.
