AC11 Detail Break Line

Eduardo Rolon — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 18:06:05 GMT

Has the Break Line for details been removed in the upgrade? If not where is it?

Works fine for me. The "Built-In Detail Marker" seems to work the best.

That's the one I am using. I only have 3 hotspots and if the marker line is not in a corner then it is either horizontal or vertical and there are no options to specify the break line point in the marker settings.

Yeah, I see what you mean now. The "Detail Indicator_NCS" will get you there, although you may have to play around with the pet palette a bit to stretch or drag appropriately.

Actually none of the markers work for what I need, except if I keep drawing using either AC10, 09 and 08.

Can not import the marker from AC 10 because the Auto reference does not work. This is what I hate about upgrade-downgrades. One item that I have used without problem now is broken because somebody decided that Detail Markers do not need the break line and now I have to change my 20 years drawing convention to what a programer decided is the way I should draw.

I appreciate that the marker now does not separate from the bubble but at the expense of taking away the break line?

The firsts days with an upgrade are a pain.

Got IT! Does not work as previous ones but is as close as I am going to get.

You can get it to be identical to what you want. Try copying the Detail Indicator_NCS from your AC9 Library to your AC11 Library, and using that.

thanks Richard

Importing/copying the one from AC09 does not work since the Auto Text is looking for Plotmaker.

Oh, you wanted the new detail linking, too? Boy, you're demanding.

I thought I read somewhere that AC11 was a paid upgrade and I was under the misconception that certain tools were improved

Maybe it was just the yearly donation to the Church of BIM and not a feature list what I read about…

I'm kind of confused here... what break line? I don't see a break line anywhere even involved in the detail.

Re: AC11 Detail Break Line

Eduardo Rolon — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 02:30:33 GMT

From AC10, it should have said "break point" instead of line

Re: AC11 Detail Break Line

And for something completely different. The Arrow Marker can only be used for indicating upward and from the right. Downwards and to the left is different.

am I being difficult?

pointing down and to the left

Just a note that this issue appears to be fixed now...

Re: AC11 Detail Break Line

Eduardo Rolon — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 22:13:45 GMT

Which one works?

tried every variation of AC11 marker and can't seem to find it.

Re: AC11 Detail Break Line

Richard Morrison — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 22:25:31 GMT

This was "Detail Indicator_NCS", rectangle construction method . Make sure you have the latest library version.

Re: AC11 Detail Break Line

Eduardo Rolon — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 22:39:14 GMT

I have the latest library. Within it I have the option for Detail Indicator_2NCS.

AC10's Markers are working fine with the new update. What has me a little down is that AC11 do not seem to work and that is the upgrade.

Re: AC11 Detail Break Line

Richard Morrison — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 22:56:05 GMT

Eduardo,

Your screenshot shows Detail Indicator 2. This one didn't work so well. If you don't have the Detail Indicator without the "2", I can probably send it to you.
