joneztria Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hello fam, just tried my first migration of a 2016 file, to 2021.. .and i have run into a few hiccups. a lot of the existing connections that were Rounded, now appear to be a mix of Rounded and Polyline. changing circuit type only works for this connection on Chamfer and Arrow - for some reason, Rounded and Polyline have no effect, and my display is mixed as is shown here. am i going to have to reconnect all of these from scratch, if i want to maintain our pretty rounded-corner look in migrated files? any help would be greatly appreciated! matt Quote Link to comment
joneztria Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 when i tried to use the Rehsape tool - this is what i see. it shows as properly rounded (like we want), but when i drop / let go, it reverts to the mixed rounded+polyline: Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted January 28, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi Matt The word from Niko is that if you move your devices a bit this will go away. We had to change the way we implemented hop-overs since 2016. We will also do a real fix in a coming release. Thanks for reporting! Conrad 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted January 28, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just to fill you in, nowadays the circuit path only has arc vertices in it if there's a hopover. Otherwise all circuit paths have corner vertices, and the object draws the vertices rounded or chamfered according to the style selected in the Object Info Palette. Hopovers get deleted if you move a device. Not really a big deal. If you need a lot of hopovers usually that means that the schematic could be better structured. Conrad Quote Link to comment
joneztria Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 that's some good further info on the topic.. thank you|! i wonder how the hopovers got in there, considering the drawing did not have any. we always try to avoid them at all costs as a policy, but maybe it was done in error. thank you guys so much!
