So when in the Find & Select dialog box, if I Find Elements by wall, column or beam and then sort by linetype filter I only get the linetypes with IDs 1-12. Find elements by any other type and sorting by linetype I get all 25 or 30 of our linetypes. Even when using the eyedropper to set the parameter in the dialog from an element that is clearly a higher ID number linetype it shows missing in the dialog box. This seems to occur all the time.
I also noticed that in some cases some of the sorting filters are greyed out when they shouldn't be. For instance in a file converted from 9 to 10 I was changing objects to 10 library parts so I could unload the old libraries. I would set elements to objects and try to use Name as the sorting method but name was greyed out in the list. I could however eyedropper an object and then change the sorting method to name. This one I can not get to repeat now that the file is all cleaned up. I will try again on the next converted file if there are any.
Anyone else seen either of these? Bugs? Setting off somewhere? Workarounds?
