haywire door/window appearence

Jefferson
Participant
I am experiencing some odd behavior with the appearance of my doors and windows, again , the level of detail in plan changes without any input from me. A close and re-open of the file restores the original settings, usually. This isn't a critical thing at present but I'd at a minimum like to know "what's really going on!" I have, for the record, opened up the dialog boxes of offending win/doors and the display characteristic appears in the dialog box as they appear in plan, again with no input changes from the operator. My concern of course is that this could eventually become a problem at the publishing junction.

Perhaps someone out there has been here before me and can advise me how to avoid this odd behavior.

Attached are screen shots to illustrate. Also please note still running ver 8.1

Yea, I'd change all my door and windows to "detailed" instead of "scale sensitive" in the "2D detail level" setting. It's in Door (or window) selection settings > Parameters > options.

Works ok for 1/4" scale .... but you may want to switch if your plotting at 1/8"

Hey Marc -

Thanx for the reply!

It gets interesting here, they were already set to detailed. I'm going to give them a trial run at scale sensitive for a while, why not eh?
