dimension lines go crazy

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 15:55:49 GMT

I suppose this is a teamwork problem because it never happened before.. until i shared the project..

i was working in this office.. and I had finished the layouts of a house project.. so i send changes.. close the program and went home..
The next day.. i came back and opened it.. and the layouts started refreshing.. and all the dimension lines moved.. just like the picture..

to correct the problem.. all i had to do is right click to the view.. open original view.. and thats it.. the original view was alright.. and when i came back to the layout.. that view would refresh again and return to normal..

now.. i have like 20 layouts witch 6 different views in each one.. It's a waste of time..

why do this happen?

thanks

Looks like a bug. Have you reported it? You can launch the Bug Reporter directly when you want to report a non-crash causing bug.

Thanks for cross-linking, Peter. I have a client on the latest hotfix who is experiencing this exact bug - and the workaround mentioned there was the only fix. Had to open the source view, manually update drawings (even though set to auto-update).

Surprised that this bug has existing for so long and is not fixed yet...

We had the same problem back in November, Greg Kmethy (Graphisoft Tech Support) was able to help us

We began experiencing this same problem recently.

It's a teamworked project, my co-worker sees the dimensions shown correctly on her workstation, and at the same moment on my workstation, some of the dimensions are flipped or disappeared.

I left the project then rejoined, and things looked correct again.

In some instances, opening the source view and then going back to the sheet where the view is placed will correct the problem, sometimes it won't. So far, leaving the project and rejoining is the only way I could completely fix it, but I need to test this some more to verify.

We both have build 3636 64bit.
