Fill Background issue in layout book.

[Anonymous]

I have set some fills and some backgrounds of objects to have the -1 Window background property.

The objects and fills work as normal in the project map and view maps - but when i am viewing my drawings in the layout book they appear with a black background - please see the attached image for reference.

I also have a legend on the right of my layout book which is setup in the master layout. In a given layout this appears "broken" as well - showing the wrong background colour - in this case black.

Im convinced we must have accidentally changed a setting - but as this is a teamwork file its hard to track down where we might have changed an option.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine trying to edit black text on a black background is not a great deal of fun.

For reference i am using:

Archicad 10 Aus (Full) 1188, Wind Xp pro (sp2).

I did have a look at the model view options - but my understanding of that feature was to set a standard background for every fill on the drawing?

I think my problem is that my -1 Background Fill is actually behaving like a solid black fill.

I forgot to note this is only a problem on screen. The actual print of the fill's background is correct.

Go FIgure?

I have kinda of given up - just changed them to transparent. Its a compromise but cant waste any more time .

Rob - they library part is built into the AC 10.lcf i dont know that i can export it. But the same issue is occuring will plain fill tool objects.

I appreciate all the advice and help - but i will probably move on

push,

just report it to GS-AU as a bug and liaise with them. we do not want to get this appeared again somewhere in future releases. you can actually ask them for a bug report id and track it down later on...
