Plotmaker - adjusting drawing frames

Anonymous
Not applicable
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

I open a sheet in PLotmaker for editing. I select the frame of an imported drawing that I want to edit the size of (not scale, just size). I grab a hotspot and drag a corner or edge. Then, I try to grab a different hotspot to continue adjusting the frame around the drawing, but the cursor won't show me a check mark - just a pointer arrow. If I click on a hotspot when the cursor is a pointer arrow it just deselects the drawing frame.

So I try to reselect the drawing frame, but the cursor cannot find the hotspots to directly select. By using a selection window, I can reselect the frame. However, now I am back to where I was two steps ago - the frame is selected, but I can't get the hotspots to register - all I manage to do is deselect and reselect - if I try to drag a corner using the pointer cursor, the whole drawing moves.

If I do a rebuild, I can select the frame normally and drag one hotspot (just like when I first opened the sheet). But only one edit, and then I'm back to the inactive hotspots situation.

So I have to rebuild after every time I drag a hotspot.

This is new behavior since I loaded the most recent patch.

Help?
