Kurt Magness Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I have a file that originally was a imported dwg file. Some objects in the file that appeared to be lines were 3d polygons which I did a convert to lines command so I could change there length. When I try to modify their lengths with the mouse I cannot get the smart cursor to change it. I can change the lengths in the object info dialog box numericaly, but not by the mouse. They show up as lines in the object info dialog box. I tried to see if they were locked or something but they are not. Any Idaes ? Quote Link to comment
Kurt Magness Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 sorry I forgot to say I am using vwks 10.5 on OS10.2.6 Quote Link to comment
kiwi Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 On a 3D layer you will no be able to modify objects that are in otrer layers... try to work on your object layer, or change your 3D layers to 2D. Quote Link to comment
Kurt Magness Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 Ok, thanks for the quick response. However the layers are not in 3d. I know this by looking at the pull down layers menu and all layers show up with square symbols versus isometric cube symbols. Another interesting development is when I export the file to Vwks 9 and open the it in Vwks 9.5, all the problem lines before adjust accordingly with mouse control as it should be. But when I open the same exported Vwks 9 file in Vwks 10.5 the lines do not repond to mouse comands. Huh ? Is there some default setting in Vwks 10 I am missing ? Quote Link to comment
kiwi Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I just draw a 3d line, convert to lines... and I couldn't reshape, just resize? but On the OPI the object show to be a group: Ungroup... haaa! thats better. But the strange think on your case is this export/import VW 9. If Ungroup the lines doesn't work have a look at the information on the OPI to see witch kind of object are you dealing with: he should be a line. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Kurt, Also check the layer and class options. When you select the object, what does the type of object read at the top of the OIP ? Quote Link to comment
Kurt Magness Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 Call me crazy but it now works ok in vwks 10.5 I swear it wasn't yesterday. oh well at least it is working now. The Object info pallet always identified the objects as lines after conversion, not groups or 3d objects as suggested. Quote Link to comment
