matatmicad Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hey, can somebody remind me please what the variable for the display to change polyline with widths to rectangular kind of lines is? I know what I need just cant remember the command. Its a visual one so the polyline could look different in each port. ty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 FILL will get you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matatmicad Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 nope not that command, thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 shademode, 3dhidden will also do it. After FILL command you have to do a regen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPlanera Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What is a "recangular kind of line"? If all you want to do is just show the outside of the "wide" line, then as rkent said, FILL then REGEN... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matatmicad Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 It isnt any particular visual setting but a specific polyline issue. Basically any polyline with a width +0 appears as a elongated rectangle, theres a variable that applies to specific views or spaces that I am after.

JPlanera Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 im sorry, im not sure i understand... in your first post you say it is a visual one, now you say it isnt any particular visual setting... are you refering to THICKNESS???

matatmicad Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 apologies, it is a visual setting set to a specific view that changes the polyline iteslf, but not anything to do with ucs orientation, thickness, 3D settings. Basically in one viewport the polyline is a 50 width line, in another it is a stretched rectangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPlanera Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ok... Is this what you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matatmicad Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 yes thats the issue we have and require the variable for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPlanera Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well this is infact a use of the FILL command.. Set up your viewports in the manner you require. Activate the viewport in which you want the stretch rectangle to be. Type FILL at the command line and set it to OFF. Then REGEN. This only changes the selected viewport, so the other one will still show the "width" of the line. Exit the viewport, and you're done! In the end, this is not a variable more or less viewport manipulation. If there is a variable out there, i dont know of it... Hope this helps.

azwanshah Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 hello, i'm having quite a same problem too, but a bit more complicated, to me. My polyline width appear hollow in both paperspace and modelspace. i've tried FILL, lwdisplay, fillmode, but nothing seems to happen. This only occur on some drawing, while in the other, its seems ok. I've try to copy paste a polyline from other good drawing, and the polyline appear hollow, in fact the paste object doesn't seem to stay intact, with the hatch seems to be stray away from the polyline body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It sounds to me as though someone tried to apply a hatch to a 3D object and the UCS was not relocated properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azwanshah Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It sounds to me as though someone tried to apply a hatch to a 3D object and the UCS was not relocated properly. will that happen even when i just want to draw a simple thick polyline, because, when i try to draw a single thick polyline, it still appear that way, hollow..

ReMark Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Is this a 2D or 3D drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sounds like it's a FILL problem to me. Post the drawing and we'll take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPlanera Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It sounds to me as though someone tried to apply a hatch to a 3D object and the UCS was not relocated properly. I tried to hatch a rectangle drawn in world orientation, with the UCS rotated by 1 degree. I just got an error that said aclosed boundary could not be found...
