Some kind of Arrow problem????

[skoorbb]

Windows and doors inserted in walls develop arrow heads at line and arc ends.....what's the deal?

All of a sudden, our drawings have arrowheads all over the place which can not be removed without removing the window or door in which they occur......and they occur in every instance!!!!!!

We are having to redraw windows and doors with lines and arcs to avoid this problem!

NNA - please tell me you know to fix this....

Using 10.0.1 on VWA10 on OS 9 & 10.

I'm having the engineer who is in charge of this look into it. In the meantime, the process below -should- fix the problem:

1. Make sure that arrowheads are turned off the in the Attributes palette for your document. (i.e. deselect everything and in the Attributes palette both the leading and trailing arrowhead buttons should NOT be highlighted);

2. Regenerate your plugin objects by choosing the Scripts/Create Plug-in... command. Just select the command and click on the Done button in the dialog.

This should fix your problem. And we'll get after the bug. Thanks for the info.

Ok, fix 1 & 2 above did not solve the problem.

1. That's our standard, no problem here.

2. Ran the script in the WGR and target file.....did not work. Arrows still show up.

The Work Group Reference file appears fine; i.e., no arrows on the screen. The arrows show up in the target document (plot file).

Without a fix, we'll be drawing all doors and windows as groups and editing the walls accordingly.

This has happened to us before with WG Refs. You need to deselect everything in the target file, turn off the arrows in the pallette window. Save, then go to the workgroup reference window and try "reselect document" on the file you have highlighted. This should do the trick...

Tried it, not working for us.....

NNA?

Bruce, I've just run a little test. It appears that it doesn't matter what the settings are in the "master" document, only the "target" document. Make -sure- that everything in the target document is deselected before you regen the objects. Note also that since you are dealing with a WGR file, (you didn't mention this before!) you may have to refresh the WGR, since objects on WGR layers come in locked and therefore may not regenerate.
