Graphic Oddities ++

[techdef]

Folks - I think i have 2 related issues, please see images attached. 

 

One is a section-elevation marker placed into annotation layer of a viewport - the "link" icon is bubbly & unusable. 

Second is a stipple pattern, also all bubbly. Its supposed to be just lines. Even the PDF shows this way.

 

Stipple pattern is annoying, the section marker is unlinkable - cant click the icon.

Did you check the linetype settings? It looks to me that you may have accidentally applied a line type (style) or class style with a line type like this to the objects.

Art,

 

Thanks for the reply - I think you may be right. The linetype is not available for my stipple however? Those little boxes arent in the Attributes palette.

If you copy that stipple to another document, does it appear properly or with the circles? In the new doc you paste it into if the circles appear, do they go away if you delete the circular line type resource from the new documents library?

[techdef]

Jim, they do NOT appear when copy/pasted into a blank file.

Its doesnt show a circular line type resource at all in the new files library? Same appearance when you match the layer scale to your file? (Sometimes it's fooled me when the line type was just scaled too small to see in another file.)

However if they really arent appearing in the new file, delete the original stipple from the old file and copy/paste the one from the new doc into it and tell me what happens. However if it still shows with that odd line type, send me that file please and I can take a look. A private message is fine if the file cant be posted publicly.

Thanks Jim,

 

Nothing in blank file resources at all. Scale is matched.

Copy/paste back and still has circles. Its definitly coming from the Class - I changed class & the circles can be changed to arrows. 

How do you turn that off? There's no "none" setting in the class Marker pulldown?

[PVA - Admin]

With the affect Stipple selected in the original file, the two end marker controls near the bottom of the Attribute palette should be on if its showing the markers, you SHOULD be able to turn them off there. The class definition always includes SOME marker style but the attributes palette should control whether they are on or off.

[techdef]

"SHOULD" indeed!

[PVA - Admin]

This is definitely a bug, it should not allow you to enter this dead end state. I think you'll need to do the following:

In your original document, hit esc esc or otherwise make sure NOTHING is selected, then look at your attribute palette, i bet it will by default have a circle marker selected, disable that, then draw out a new stipple and tell me if the circles appear again or not. I suspect you may need to redraw that section marker as well, it's link indicator is taking attributes where it absolutely should not, im going to file these as two separate bugs.

Jim,

Behaviour exactly as you'd described. Turned off the circle marker & new stipple works fine.

 

Thanks
