2D and 3D positions differ on GDL object

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:45:53 GMT

Hi,

I have created an object from selection in 3D view and then edited the 2D symbol after my liking. Everything is good until I realize that the object in 3D do not have the same coordinates as the object in 2D. I can't seem to find any anchor point in the 2D view. How do I edit the object so that the 2D and 3D position is the same? I did copy my 2D symbol into the 2D edit window.

You may use Project2 command to chech if the 2d script content is the same as 3d view.

in the beginning of 2d script put this:

PROJECT2 3,270,2

Best Regards,
Piotr

I wrote PROJECT2 3,270,2 in the empty 2D script and now the object looks like a torked copy of the 3D overhead view...How can I just edit the 2D symbol without getting the 3D overhead view nor an issue with displacement between 2D and 3D?

Use the PROJECT2 to measure the distance between it (the true position) and your symbol view.
Then move the 2D symbol that distance.
Now delete or comment out (place ! at the beginning of the line) the PROJECT2 command in the 2D script.
You will be left with just your 2D symbol view - hopefully in the correct position.
