kdelvo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hello All, I have been working on some plots on my laptop using VW2016 sp1 w/RW. Installed the new 2016 sp2 on my home machine and noticed that in my rigging plot the hoist dims have no fill behind text. There is nothing I can do to place a white fill behind the hoist dims so the numbers are readable over grayed out truss layer underneath them. As a test, I saved what I had and re-opened the files on my laptop running 2016 sp1. and the text fill shows up. Seems to be an issue with Service Pack 2...? Has anyone else seen this?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 1, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 1, 2015 I am unable to replicate this in a new file here in 2016 SP2. Currently in my test file I am able to just select the Hoist object and changing its Fill in the Attributes palette to None removes the dimension fills. if you create a new blank document and add Hoist objects, do they behave the same way?

kdelvo Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Jim, Thanks for the rapid response. As a test I created a new Spotlight document on my iMac running Sp2. Added 2 Trusses and 6 Hoists. I did not adjust any classes or layers. Just threw it all on a design layer. No fill on Hoist text. Then did the same procedure on my Macbook running Sp1 All the hoists came in with fill behind the text. Strange... I also compared all Prefs & settings between the 2 programs everything is the same.

kdelvo Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I may have figured it out. I was able to finally get fill behind the text only after I set it to "Class Style" in attributes palette. Now I can set any color fill. Seems I had toggled something when I set to class style then back. Makes no sense. ken Quote Link to comment
