Polyline Break

[Curtis Johnson]

Yesterday I ran into two different situations where I was having problems reshaping a polyline with the break tool. In the first instance, I was trying to check the footprint size of a plan I am working on which has a bunch of 45's in the ext. walls. In trying to move the Pline in from the front porch where two of the 45's are, I couldn't get the Pline to reshape to the 45's after placing breaks in the Pline. In the second case, I was trying to put breaks in text arrows to reshape them with an angle and it just wasn't working (in a couple of cases I got the arrow to bend a little but not the way I wanted it to - in other cases I couldn't get the arrows to bend at all. I am sure there is a simple solution to this but I haven't been able to figure the answer out yet.

I can only make a guess here, but I would look at your snap settings. The other thing I would suggest is posting a picture of the problem area you are having because I am having a hard time understanding your description.

Dermot:

I called Tech Support on this and Nygel got me straightened out. These little pesty problems always come up when you've put in a long day, you can't think and you're in a hurry to get something on paper. What was happening I am sure was ME since I don't seem to be having any of the same problems.
