Corrupt Marker

Anonymous — Thu, 18 May 2023 22:10:00 GMT

In 12 all of a sudden I have a corrupt marker that when I go to move just the marker head it freezes AC.
All other markers ok.
Of course I could delete the marker, but then I'd have to redraw my two D annotations to it all over.
At first "spinning wheel" starts flashing, then whole screen goes gray then spinning wheel just spins without flashing.
Has any previous such nonsense been seen, or know of any possible key combos to repair it?
(Spinning wheel does not show up in image capture).
Thanks

Have you tried switching it to a different marker?

You should be able to copy the 2D elements from the section to the plan (or another window), place a new section, then copy the 2D elements from the plan to the new section, if all else fails. You would have to redo associated dimensions.

Thanks for the replies.

I copied the 2D work to floor plan (for later past) and then tried to set new section marker exactly as previous one, but somehow I could not get new section marker to be EXACTLY as the old one. Part of my problem was that when I tried to zoom in to place a small line to mark exact extent settings of old marker, marker would not be visible even though it was selected, so just gave up for now as original marker "head" problem is that it's only slightly hiding something, which I've decided was not all that big of a deal anyway, considering the trouble moving it's "head" became.
So I'll leave the mystery alone for now.

lec:

The ends of the section line should respond to the cursor, so you should be able to place a line that snaps to the section line ends for placing the replacement section line. But I understand that sometimes you just take what you have and move on.
