Hatch boundaries

[Anonymous]

Hi
Why the dashed borders of my hatches are well done in Archicad (right)and -grumble grumble – like that in Plotmaker (left)?

[Erika Epstein]

1. Is your output scale in plotmaker the same as in archicad?

2. Is the linetype used scale-dependent or scale-independent?

Hi Erika
Was very busy out of AC theses days
1. yes and both 1:1
2. scale-independent
Thanks
Best regards

plotmaker is changing your rounded outline corners to separate arcs (circles) separate lines from the straight sides. Although the arcs are still using the dashed linetype, they now stop and start at the ends of the arcs which are not long enough to show the dash.

I reproduced this.
Has anyone reported this bug yet?

Well, after 10 days, I did not see much concern about that from the AC gurus…
I do not think Plotmk did transform anything, I tried to break the link and opened the pmk file, it is still a hatch with dashed boundaries, not some kind of transformation into lines and circles around the hatch.
Same object as AC but an incorrect representation.

Anybody to explain, please?
Thanks
Best regards

In plotmaker the arced lines are now solid instead of dashed when exploded.
Plotmaker is transforming them incorrectly.

If you explode my hatch, yes, I did not. Anyway, as I see, AC is able to make a correct link between straight and curved frame (previously called boundaries in my approximate English), so why does PM not?

Thanks
Best regards

Finally, I drew the hatch directly in Plotmaker and apply a fillet (the way I did in AC).
Unable to get any dashed curve even with a big fillet.
I call that a bug, where am I suppose to report it?
Thanks
Best regards

Contact your local dealer/reseller with the problem.

Why not?
Shouldn't change that much for me…
Do they suppose to collect bugs?
I thought this forum was the right place to get answer to problems.
