Patrick Fritsch Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Anyone know what's wrong with the Linear material tool precision, I draw plywood and gypsum at 1/2" or 3/4" and it measures 0.543" and 0.793"....Kind of messes up the detailing. Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Can anyone confirm if this is a bug? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 6, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 6, 2014 I would say so, even if i try to manually enter a value of .501" the end result is still .543", and if I try to enter .55" I end up with .593" Actually, it looks like its adding exactly .043" no matter what I enter... I don't see this as intentional. Submitting it as an issue now. Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 There is another bug with the "closure" orientation of the Linear Material Tool, It is reversed. Ie; If I set it to "Start" it's the "end" that gets closed and vise versa, does not matter which direction you draw your line. Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Patrick and Jim, I came across the dimensioned width anomaly a while ago and reported it (pre-SP2). After VW2015 SP2 the dimensioned width issue appears resolved (for me at least). I can confirm the closed end issue even with SP2. Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Jim, this is getting ridiculous...check out the attached the control points are offset for certain material but not others (note offset is set to zero). Change the type through the OIP and you'll see the actual material jumps around. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 17, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 17, 2014 Looks like they may have already caught this, if not I will submit it as a new issue. I see a number of things about linear materials in the patch pipe. Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Is this coming? It's driving me nuts... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted January 27, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 27, 2015 I can't give any specific dates on anything unannounced, apologies. I really would if I could. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Have you tried creating your own linestyles to leapfrog the problem? Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Just did, but that really does not work well. Double line tool w/ create polygons works best for now. Quote Link to comment
ydatal Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm with you Patrick! It worked fine in previous versions. I hate updating to a new version and tools I depend on go out of whack. Jim, any progress getting this fixed, or should I just go back to a previous version? Quote Link to comment
