BUG: Dimension Witness Line Gap

SeaGeoff — Tue, 30 May 2023 13:24:13 GMT

Is anyone experiencing a bug in the witness line gap settings of AC 10? I am seeing these problems:

1. With the Dimension preference / Witness Line Scalability set to Fixed, the value in the Info Box field is off by a factor of 1000 (e.g. you need to enter 2000mm to get a 2mm gap). The value in the settings dialog is correct.
2. The Info Box field reports zero until tabbed into.
3. Tabbing through this field in the Info Box is messed up. It takes four Tabs to move from the field above to the one below.

I am experiencing this with Mac PPC build 817 and 966.

Geoff,

I am getting same thing. The Info Box does not clean up well either, that is supposed to be 1" in the box.

Yeah, I've been fighting that too. The Settings Menu works, but not the Info Box.

Happy and sad to hear it's not just me. I'll send it to US Tech Support. Thanks guys.

Now we have another similar problem plaguing AC11-1210:

Dimensions have always been a bit scary, especially when used in section or elevation. They seem to be very volatile, changing and disappearing for no apparent reason. Very troubling.
