Topic: Moving Point now changes elevation?

[Mark]

In prior versions of C3D if I grab the grip of a Point and moved it the elevation of the point would not change. Now in C3D 2013 if I move a point using the grip the elevation changes to zero. Is there a setting I can change to get back the old behavior? OSNAPZ doesn't seem to have an effect one way or the other.

thanks

what are these points you are moving and why?

In 2013 and in 2012 the behavior is the same, if I move a Point or a Cogo Point with grips, the Z remain as it was.

I don't have your problem, so it is not something new in 2013.

If you draw a line with both Z values at 0.00 then drag a point over to the line and snap the end point or mid point then check the Z value of the Point. In previous version the point would retain its value and ignore the Z value of the line or curve.

I've been seeing this a lot too. Perhaps the reason I can't 'create a Point'?

sounds like you may want a repair install

I see the same behavior as Mark. In 2012 the point retains it's Z value when grip edited. In 2013 it takes on the elevation of the object snapped to.

thanks for the conformation Jeff. I knew I wasn't going crazy!

I was thinking the same thing.

Could someone post this on the Adesk news groups please. I would really like to know how to change this behavior.

thanks

I just posted a question about this, Mark. During my testing I encountered the same fatal error you mention above. I sent in the CER and within minutes I had an email from Tech support asking about it. I sent back the exact steps I had just gone through, and mentioned WHY I was doing the test (the change in workflow between 2012 & 2103 point grip editing). So I know it's in their system now.
