johnny Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Im trying to set stretch planes on a symbol, but in the "preview" window its not actually previewing the proposed changes as I make adjustments. Anyone else getting this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 As far as I know it has always been that way. Unfortunately, you have to close down the dialog box and then reopen it for any changes to the bounding box or stretch planes to properly register. We really should suggest that they fix that. If more people knew how to use those settings then I suspect Chief would probably be hearing a lot more complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Interesting. So should this be called a bug? Since the app typically functions correctly with live previews on other objects, is this an unintended problem that could be classified a bug? I'll tell you of all the locations an instant preview window would be helpful, this may rank at the top of the list for me personally. I have to do some trial and error on this often. Dermot, would you let us know if this should be reported a bug? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I totally agree Johnny. Its been an annoyance of mine for a little while but I just never even thought to request that it be fixed. It really should be though. It may be the single most trial-and-error-prone operation in Chief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Quote Dermot, would you let us know if this should be reported a bug? It doesn't matter what I think. If you think it's a bug, or even if you think it should work differently, then you should probably go ahead and report it to us. I actually think it's a bug too because previews should almost always update when you make changes. Isn't that the whole point of previews? We might not get to it right away but we will certainly add it to our todo list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Just resurrecting this old thread because I stumbled on a way to update the preview without closing out the dialog box. if you toggle Show Origin after making your changes, the preview will properly update. I guess I never noticed it before because I usually just toggle the Preview on before making any adjustments and then just leave it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
