Title: line ends with gap and dot
Post by: confusedCADguy on March 19, 2004, 05:24:07 PM

Here's a good one to keep you busy this weekend.  Has anyone ever had a line appear to have a gap with a dot at the end?  Sort of like a dimension would have. Now when I say end I mean a line drawn from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’, point ‘b’ being where the gap & dot shows up.  The strange part is no matter how close you zoom the gap never gets any bigger. And, a majority of the time it doesn’t show up until you do a regen. When you use an osnap such as endpoint it locks on to the ‘dot’ at the end of the line.  I’ve checked everything.  It’s a normal line, no ‘z’ coordinate.  I can’t really figure it out.  Any ideas?

What's the layer's and/or objects (i.e. line's) linetype?

It didn't make a difference which layer it was on.  The linetype is continuous but I didn't check to see if it happened with other linetypes.

Are you using any 3rd party software?

No 3rd party software, just plain vanilla 2002 with enablers loaded for arch desktop

Try copying some of these lines and paste them into a new drawing. See if you have the same results or any lt definiitions are brought with it.
