Not sure what's happening. half circles also lose their orientation etc. I'm not used to GDL as I started making models with solidworks and autocad so if you could explain it to me in the lamest way possible that'd be great.</T></DIV> Tue, 12 May 2009 03:52:26 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/New-2d-Object-has-broken-lines/m-p/131195#M24748 Anonymous 2009-05-12T03:52:26Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/New-2d-Object-has-broken-lines/m-p/131196#M24749 <BLOCKQUOTE>Having issues saving 2d line work as an object. when I do the object comes out broken and messed up ... </BLOCKQUOTE> I'm not sure what the problem might be.
