Door Marker Glitch

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:56:09 GMT

I have found that in AC 13 that if I have my door marker ID Text Orientation (under marker settings>marker geometry) set to horizontal instead of standard the text becomes offset out of the marker. If I set it to standard, no problem. This only seems to be a problem with Door Marker 13, If I use Door Marker 11 it seems to be O.K.

Has any one else noticed this, and if so is there a fix?

I have attached a screen grab for reference

Jeff:

Not seeing the problem here, you may need top post all of the marker settings for someone to diagnose the issue.

Thank you. I am attaching two screen grabs which show my marker settings.

I can't reproduce your problem, but I notice that under
Customize Texts> Marker Text
you have this set to Custom Text. Try switching this to ID Number

Also, check if you have some extra spaces in front of your ID.

O.K. I have tried doing as you suggested, and still have the problem.

Oddly, this problem only seems to affect Door Marker 13.
See the attached jpeg to illustrate. The two doors are identical in every way except the top one uses Door Marker 13, and the bottom uses Door Marker 11. I guess I will just use door marker 11, but it seems weird to have to do this.
Thanks for the response.

One other quick note. I looked down at the responses and notice that I am using OS X 10.6 and the other two responders were using 10.5. FWIW.

Jeff:

Like Erika, I cannot reproduce your problem. You may be correct in suspecting OSX 10.6, as it has had issues with certain fonts and ArchiCAD. I assume you tried changing the font (although Arial is very common). Hopefully, the person at Graphisoft responsible for the Door Markers will see this and find a solution to be included in a library update, you may want to file a bug report.

Very-very interesting. Could you please send us a PLA containing only one door and marker you have the problem with? You can send it here or through technical support. I guess it would be the only way for us to get what you see.

Thanks!

Would you please explain what you mean by PLA? And how would you like me to send it?

With the file open SAVE AS and choose file type pla.

O.K., I have tried to attach it as a file in a reply but it does not seem to be working. Any suggestions?
