Scaled Symbol: Texture Doesn't Scale

[Andy Broomell]

I am experiencing a bug related to a texture in a scaled symbol. When I set scaling to symmetric and double the size, for example, the texture is not scaling up with it:

 

 

Other symbols seem to work fine, but this one does not. I tried opening the file in 2016 and it works fine there, so I'm not sure what the issue might be...

 

Here's the file: SymbolScaleTextureBug.vwx

It doesn't seem to just be related to scaling the symbol. If you scale the extrude outside of a symbol it behaves the same way. Not sure how to fix it though....

There is definitely a bug when trying to double click and edit a "scaled" symbol. VW behaved incredibly poorly when I tried this.....

I seem to have texture scaling issues ALL the time with scaled symbols. Even with super simple objects like a cubic extrude:

 

 

The left is the original Symbol and the right is scaled up.

Am I doing something wrong? This makes scaled symbols fairly useless in 3D.

I don't think so. My feeling is symbol scaling hasn't had much attention/beta testing from version to version. I see new/different issues whenever a new version is released. I use scaled symbols a lot and find workarounds are generally needed for textures, NURBS surfaces, and some solids. Its another one of those 1.0 features.
