Custom Section marker not working..

[Anonymous]

Hello all...

I seem to be having a very strange issue with a section marker I am trying to create. This is my first time trying to edit a GDL object, so do not assume I haven't just done something stupid.

First I created a new Object and assigned it the section marker subtype.

Then I drew the object in the 2D Symbol window. It looks like this:

So I saved this to see how I was doing, and created a section with it. The following is what happened:

It looks "smushed" or possibly even as if it is pointing upward?

Here is the parameters window:

I tried to copy these settings over from a pre-existing section marker.


I think this would have been easier if I could have edited one of the pre-existing section markers...but I don't see how. When I open them up, there is nothing in the 2D Symbol window.

So I have no idea how to "edit" this existing section marker if theres no image to edit or draw on.....

PLA file, please, not PLN. I need to see the file as it exist on your computer.

Ok, I put the PLA into that folder

I can't see any PLA. You might have to give me the link to the PLA file.

Sorry there was an error uploading the file and I didn't see it. It should be there now.

I think something might be wrong with your file.
In this file I cannot get it to work.
But if I extract this Marker object from the Embedded Library into a folder in the hard drive, then:

1. Do a New & Reset (CTRL+ALT+N).
2. Load the Marker object into the Embedded Library.
3. Set it for the Section Marker and place the Section Line.

then it works perfectly.

There must be something between the file and the MUL2 command in the object. If I comment the MUL2 line in the 2D Script then it works fine. But in that case it will not be resizable. (In that case you can resize it in the 2D Symbol to be the size you need.)
