    Default polyline differing on two drawings

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    on a sewer network drawing i use a single poly line with a thicker starting segment to represent an arrow as direction of flow. i am provided with a plan at the start to which i draw on the network. thing is up until today i tried to draw a poly line arrow on a plan and instead of looking like a filled arrow it was an outline arrow and cant get around it. am i missing a setting somewhere. any help welcome and im on a tight schedule. ive even tried to copy one from another drawing but it is changing to the the other state.

    Have you tried:

    vscurrent>2dwireframe ?

    It sounds like a visual style problem.
    If all else fails, go outside for a fag (cigarette).

    If the vscurrent to 2d doesn't work then try Plan, World.

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    Also check your FILLMODE variable and make sure it's set to 1. You will have to perform a REGEN after changing the setting.

    And this is a Land Desktop 2009 hotfix, correct? This will not work for Autocad 2010.
