Is there anyone who has a solution to "Run through corners" ?

Hi,

I work a lot with mapping to authorities, and they have many requirements regarding line styles.

One requirement is to have line styles that are not "broken" at breakpoints, you want the line style complete throughout the mapped line.

When using "Run through corners" in MS (v8i and CONNECT) the setting is not retained when exporting to dwg, how come?
Does anyone know any solution to this?
How can I get the line style to maintain "run through corners" in to my exported file.


Kind Regards,
Elin

  • I was a little unclear, this also applies when I save my file as a DGN-file. When I open the DGN-file again, it has lost the "run through corners" setting.

    Why does not the settings remain, that is my question.

    We constantly receive feedback / comment that the customer wants lines that flow through the entire line, not broken at the insert points / breaking points.

    Anyone have any solution? 

  • Where are these linestyles defined?
    Are you working on DWG files, DGN files, or are you working with some other software package altogether? What version of your software are you using?

    Are you creating these files with something that isn't MicroStation or AutoCAD, but expecting the drawings to display the same way as they do in your host software?

  • I create a new dgn-file, then I do some mapping, then I export to dwg.

    The line styles that I use is not MS standards, they come from rcs-files or shx files. 

    Once again, the problem: I think its strange when I use the "run through corners" setting it all look good in the View, But when I do an export to dwg and open that file the settings are gone. And the same happens to the original dgn-file if I close it and the open it agian, the setting are gone.
