    Muntins are offset in window dbx

    The muntins from Chief library shows an offset in the window dbx. I tried several of them and they all do the same thing. What is causing this to happen?

    Thanks

    Pat,

    I don't get the offset but I also don't get the circle. When the muntins genereaate the circle disappears and only the spokes turn into muntins.
    How did you get the circle??

    I get the correct placement in cross section, but in the dialog box, the muntin(s) is/are distorted/misplaced.

    Muntin fix

    You can correct this by exploding the muntin cad block and reblocking it before using the load muntin tool. I'll have to look into the why of this!

    John,

    Hoe come when I draw a circle and lines and make custom muntins I lose the circle but when I load the one from the library it works ok?
    I've tried overlapping the lines over the circle, snapping them to the circle but it makes no difference. Why is your circle better than my circle?? :mad:

    I used the center point circle.

    Try using an arc (not a circle) for the center. Draw half of the circle with an arc and place a break in it to make it 2 segments. Now grab one end and complete the circle. This 2 segment circle will generate into a muntin.
