Hi,
I have noticed that ACS Plane Lock and Snap Lock are not working properly while having "Always Show Compass" setting on. Is it an intended behavior or just a bug? If it is an intended behaviour, can anyone provide any documentation/examples of using "Always Show Compass" and how it can contribute to a better workflow?
Hi Jevgenijs,
It is working properly on my box. Maybe I am missing something. Please share a test file and explain what exactly you are trying to achieve and steps to reproduce this problem.
Thanks and regards,
Manoj
It is working for me. Although I suspect there may be a particular workflow when this might happen when you say "not working properly". Please expand
Hi Manoj,
I copied one cell into a fresh file created from the same seed used on the project. I can still replicate the issue, however, after your comment, I have a feeling that I simply do not understand "Always Show Compass" function rather than it is an actual issue.
The steps I was doing:
I attach the file. Thank you! ACS_test.dgn
I have commented below other answer.
This is the expected behavior, AccuDraw overrides the ACS. What ACS plane lock will do is have AccuDraw appear aligned with the ACS when it is enabled by a tool, but if it's already up because of Always Show Compass the enable step is a no op.
I personally have never found a use for Always Show Compass and leave it off (which is the default).
