Two new annoying bugs for 2008 and one 2007/2008 bug with no work around (yet)!

1.) 2008: If you have your TIN lines, contour lines and a label line (that is labeling the contour) and you do line a line flip edit of the surface. C3D will now appear to elevation label the TIN lines and maybe even the label line itself, but if you do a grip edit on the label line the contour labels will now look correct.

2.) 2008: If you have a DIM and you enable the new Annotation feature and then you assign an annotation scale to this DIM and then you do a grip edit on the DIM and then save the DWG, you will now not be able to erase the DIM.  Maybe, this one works and then it doesn’t, but when it hits you the only way of now deleting the DIM is to leave the DWG and restart the DWG and then you will maybe be able to erase the DIM.

3.) 2007/2008:  This one I had seen for awhile but was never really able to trace to its cause.  If you have a corridor w/surfaces with sample lines and sections in a dwg and you do a grip edit of a sample line and move it say from sta 2+00 to 2+10 you will notice that the section has updated some of the lines but not all.  I’m not really sure which didn’t update, but if you zoom in to the daylight area of your section you will now see a gap in between the corridor lines and the other surface lines.  I think it is re-sampling the corridor lines but not the surface lines i.e. Top or Datum surface.  The real problem is that there appears to be no way of getting C3D to resample this section to make it right. I have regen, left the dwg and come back in and I have had it resample the sample lines and still nothing.  I was able to repeat this in both 2007 and 2008.

+++++ This is actually not a bug, but is being caused by the fact that the corridor stationing is not matching up with the new location of the sample line, so therefore we are getting interpolated surface lines that don't match with the corridor location +++  5/18/07 2:43 pm cst

So there you have it. Two annoying bugs and one that you just need to avoid!
