section line tool oddity

[jnr]

Anyone seen this before? 2019 section line (just using as a graphic in annotations-not creating a section viewport). Comes with a funky little red hot dog squeezed by a rubber band. Did I miss something?

This video should cover it, should start at the right time ~54s:

Thanks Jim.

To some exterior elevations I added section references of existing section viewports (that are noted on the plan as advertised) which is when the red link shows up. I don't suppose there's a way to display the section references on the plan and the elevations automatically (referencing the same section viewport)?

@Jim Wilson I created a section from an unlinked section marker using the button in the OIP. Instead of linking it to the section marker with the broken link I started from VW created a whole new section marker. Is this intended behaviour? Also because the link symbol doesn't highlight when a section marker is highlighted it was hard to figure out which marker to delete.

Hi Kevin,

When creating a section from an unlinked Section-Elevation Marker, it should convert the Section-Elevation Marker into a Section Line. You should not be left with both. Can you reproduce this behavior?

Hi Matt,

 

The next time I tried it worked as you described. Perhaps the first time was an anomaly.

 

I am having trouble with snapping in the Annotations space of the Section Viewports I'm creating. The cutting planes have snaps, but elements beyond the cutting plane do not. If I toggle on Show Other Objects When In Edit Modes the snaps become active but they disappear again if I toggle it off again. This has happened for every Section Viewport I've created so far so I expect its a bug.

 

I'm also finding that Sheet Layer Viewports go out of date very easily, even just from closing and reopening a file (the cache option is turned on).

 

Cheers,

 

Kevin

OK, good. If you can get a reproducible case, please submit a bug, or let us know.

Hmm... I don't see that happening. Can you submit a bug with a test file so we can have a look?

I believe this problem is fixed for SP1.

Thanks!

I wanted to make clear the names of these two very similar objects. 🙂
