Adding Profiles To Library

**cadstudio** · 11-20-2005, 07:30 AM

I'm not sure if this i s abug but when I create a closed profile and rotate it or make it parallel to another line I can't seem to get it to go into the library. What's going on?

Don't close the profile.

Molding profiles need to have at least one vertical edge. If you rotate a molding profile so that none of the edges are vertical, Chief will not let you add it to the molding profiles. This is the way Chief is designed to work. The program needs to find the longest vertical edge to make that the main edge that it will use as the reference edge for placement and alignment.

If you do not have any vertical edges, Chief will appear to let you add it to the My Libraries folder but it won't actually put anything in the library. This is a bug.

So Dermot are saying that Chief is not supposed to work the way Tim is suggesting it works? Are you saying this is a bug? Is this way of working going away in a patch?
