Object 2D Symbols

[TracyGA]

I am trying to create some objects from some 3d files that I downloaded.  Typically when I do this I can open the object created and then change the 2D Symbol to what I want to see in plan.  This has always worked perfectly, but now when I try to do it, the object does not update.  Instead, it always shows me the 2D View (I'm not sure what the difference of these is supposed to be), which I cannot modify at all.  Is there a way to fix this?

Check the 2D Script? The 2D Symbol will get overridden by anything in the 2D Script, so check there and delete if required.

I am not really familiar with the process of scripting.  Do you have a suggestion of what it should say?

[Lingwisyer · Accepted solution]

If you are putting the linework of your desired 2D symbol in the 2D Symbol tab of the object script, the 2D Script tab should be blank (or fully commented ( ! ) out).

Thank you!  This worked great!

Can someone show me how this is done ( the script part)

I have always been able to put a fill in the 2d view, delete lines etc. but this doesn't seem to work in newer versions (26)??

Ensure that your 2D Script is not trying to draw something / blank? As per the thread solution.

I have noticed now that you have to type a FRAGMENT2  1, 0 command in the 2D script.

Leaving it blank or commenting out all the lines does not seem to work any more.

I haven't really looked at it as I not using 26 yet.

Thanx, works great, didn't put anything in the script.

Just copied the object in plan view and pasted it in the 2D symbol window, edited like I used to in older versions and saved.

Only tone thing; after the operation AC behaved very strange for a minute, couldn't select or move anything, it's like AC needed a minute to figure out what I did
