Hello: A drawing is created in 06 and in it contains 2d polylines that are then offset. The offset poly's layer is then set to one of our custom line types. This custom line type places the shape "LED" spaced evenly, at a specified distance (e.g. 3 per ft). (see 1st pic Offset_cad06.jpg). Notice how the inner offset for the letter "A" has 11 LEDS.

After, that same drawing, is opened in Cad 09 (mechanical)....and the number of LEDs is now different. (see 2nd pic dirrectly under 1st pic: offset_cad09.jpg). Now, the inner offset for the letter "A" has 13 LEDS.

The poly settings are as such:
Fit smooth
Closed = yes
Linetype generation is enabled.

These settings don't change - they are the same in both 06 and 09.

any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Proctor
