3D symbols resist editing


Recommended Posts

There is still a huge bug that persists from at least VW2018. That is when you go into a 3D symbol to edit, you cannot draw a 2D object in any view but top plan. It is outrageous that his still exists and makes it nearly impossible to edit symbols. This along with the long-standing bug of having 3D symbols take on the orientation of the symbol instance that was clicked on makes symbol updates exceedingly laborious. These have been known bugs for a while. Please let me know where I need to post them...again... to get some action.

Thanks,

Set your Plane to Screen Plane and draw the object in any view. It will then "fall through" to the Top/Plan view when you exit the edit.

 

If you want a "2D" object to show in a view other than Top/Plan, set it to Layer Plane, 3D Plane, or Working Plane and it will stay in the 3D part of the symbol..
