thanks guys for the quick response, saves me wasting anymore time on it

Hi guys, I have edited and created a new 2 D block for an electrical power point off the original generic Chief duplex block.

my block is specific for Australia and is 2 half circles side by side and solid filled. When I created the block I assigned it to Electrical and in the electrical drawing order etc giving it solid fill doing everything correct as per my requirements however when I assign that 2D block to the duplex  I lose the solid fill??????? am I missing something in the process?

Cheers in advance

Darrell

Morning guys,

I have just taken on a project started by another designer who was using Archicad, I have to start again in X9 and need to have some angled posts as in the pic attached.

any easy way to angle a polyline sold or post?

cheers in advance

all sorted...........turned out with X8 your graphics card driver must be newer than 2013..........mine wasn't and now is so problem is resolved

already sent to the tech guys ShaneK just waiting on their response

printing to a chief PDF doesn't work, wont print correctly in any format and nothing will correct it for long so I have sent the file to tech support, they say they haven't heard of this issue before either.

thanks for your help guys

Thanks Chopsaw, yes it is X8 that I am using and the problem still existed when printing. I just had some success by opening the layout box then changing from live view to plot lines and I have managed to make it work for the time being. I have been using X8 since it was released and this problem didn't exist until recently and it is getting worse with each new plan

Hi all,
when I send an elevation to layout selecting plot lines and colour fill options I am losing colour fill. Sometimes it will work however if I update the view at any point it will partially lose fill and remaining colours is faint whilst some portions will remain as they should. I have tried everything I can think off to rectify including deleting the camera and starting again, shutting the program down and re opening etc. If I undo commands it will return to the full colour only to return to the problem once I update the view. Any help greatly appreciated as its doing my head in
