Question

Axis Display in Drawing

Hey Folks

Got a simple one here, but I guess the brain is working just yet...

WF5 M080



After doing a Show of an axis, typically I want to drag both endpoints
around to get the proper overhang of the geometry/view on each end.

It seems I can't drag each endpoint of the axis independently, as I drag
one end, I lose the location of the other end...



Is there some keystroke needed to anchor one end as I drag the other
end?



Thanks



Paul

Thanks all but I just figured it out.



It seems you need to do an Update Draft or Regen Model first then I can
freely drag the endpoints.



Makes me wonder about a config option that I may have set. I believe
there is an option NOT to regenerate drawings at opening, which was
helpful for very large drawing retrievals. I may be using this option
and therefore causing this problem. Need to dig a bit.



Thanks

Paul,

It's a bug and fixed in M090.

You can hold down your alt key down pick then pick axis then drag.

I tried your method you found at it looks like if you are in the review tab the axis drags fine.
