#acad286 help please
3 messages in this thread
I'm having some trouble that dosn't seem to be documented with acad R-11
286.
First All the diminsions on the drawings, the arrow heads don't reach to
the extention lines. They do on the screen but not on the physical plot.
They are all a uniform length away.
Second, We can't get polylines to plot the correct width, fill is on
but they come out as single lines, but not as a box just a line like it's
not even trying to be a different width. We listed the enitiy and it shows
the proper width. We are using an HP 7550 B with the standard acad driver.
Third, Trim and extend dosn't work when the enities are at an angle.
Fourth, The curser arrow in a dialog pick box (ie: Layer Box) gets very
jumpy so it is hard to make a selection, it seems to be more so near the
right side of the box then the left.
any help would be apperciated.
Thanks

Doug:
Check the penwidth you have specified and compare it to the width you have
assigned in your plot parameters. Using a .35mm pen when you have
specified 1.0mm in AutoCAD will not create a very good "fill" when plotted.

Doug,
The Plines and arrowheads are probably the result of having your pen
width setting in your plot parameters set to something other than .010,
this'll get ya every time.
Tell us more about your TRIM and EXTEND problems, this sounds unusual.
What kind of pointing device are you using? The driver could be the problem
with the jumpy cursor.
