hotspots dominating my unlinked elevations?

Ive never had this problem before, so i assume that i recently set some of my settings incorrectly somewhere down the line. but if you look at the image you will see what i am talking about, these hotspots are doubled, and trippled up, and takes forever to delete them.

These hot spots have always occured for me. However, deleting them is fast and easy. Activate the hot spot tool, edit/select all hot spots, delete.

keithg,
I believe these hotspots belong to objects that are scripted to have
3D hotspots. Most AC 8 and AC 9 parts have these hotspots.
It is easy to delete them. First Suspend Groups (important),
select the Hotspot tool, go to Edit menu-> Select all Hotspots,
then hit the delete key.

This is actually a feature from Graphisoft to you!


I am not sure exactly why they decided to do this, but as I recall it has something to do with dimensioning.

Since my reply is pretty much useless, I am hoping someone from GS can confirm it.

Cheers,
Link.

Couldn't you just turn the "Hotspot" layer off before rendering (assuming all those hotspots are on that layer)?

They happen at doors and windows.
Graphisoft has always told me it was a bug. So they changed their mind?

The hotspots will all be on the layer of the objects that they are associated with.

I've never seen this happen. Would you PM me and l'll give you an address to which you can send the file. I'd really like to take a look at it. Hot Spots are not supposed to print; are you telling me they are?

Woody simply generate any elevation with a window in it, then change that section to a Drawing and you will see hotspots turn up. They don't plot - they're just regular hotspots but they turn up!
