Decal Edit Lock-Up

[John Ferris]

Have found that ACAD/nXt locks up when editing decals.

Sequence:

1. Select object with existing decal.

2. Right click on decal name under nXt Object Properties and select "Edit Position and Location"

3. Type "3", "M", "S" or "R" without first clicking a point within the ACAD window.

4. Experience frustration and the "oh yea" don't do that feeling.

Worked OK here.  Can you try with a very simple drawing?

[John Ferris]

I did and it did...Give me a sec and I'll send. Using ver 271.

Still no problem-- selected the face and followed the procedure above choosing the "3" option.

 

What's the dispositon of your nXt palette-- e.g. docked, floating, anchored?

 

Are other palettes open as well?

Within ACAD, I have the nXt window on my second monitor. It's open and docked (?-it kinda jumps to the upper screen edge). This would be easier with a screen shot...attached.

This isn't a big deal...I just need to remember the correct sequence. Maybe I could try with a different image for the decal...

Thanks,

John

Interesting-- I still can't reproduce it.  I tried with the props palette open and the nXt palette floating out of the AutoCAD window.  Still nothing.  It may be related to the dual monitor setup.  I doubt if the image has anything to do with it.

Thanks for the look-see. I'll let you know if I figure it out...John

I haven't noticed any issues with decals of late (I run dual monitor both in the office and at home).

[John Ferris]

Must be something local on my end...I'll need to run more tests.
