Creo Illustrate / The "Line style" changes in "Insets"

Hello all,

is it normal for the line style (e.g. centerline) to change when you place an Inset? Can this be changed or switched off?

 

I have placed a bolt with screw and centre line on a DIN A4 page size.

When I insert an Inset B, the centrerline style changes. In addition, the line style in the Inset (zoom) is completely different. It is far too small in this case, although it should not actually change despite positive or negative zoom. And if it does, the distances should at least become larger (and not smaller) with a positive zoom.

 

The line style:

Insert a Inset B with zoom < 1:

Making the zoom >1:

Can this behavior be changed?

This is not the expected behavior, the pattern of the dashed line should not change.

I can only suggest contacting tech support and logging a new case for this issue.

 

I have tried to recreate the issue but so far cannot get the centre line in the inset the change pattern like you are seeing.

    Hello agarland,
    thank you for taking the time trying to reproduce the problem.

    Because you could not reproduce it, I have now tried again and what can I say, everything is fine now 🙂


    I don't know what went wrong in my attempt, but here are the results of my new attempt. And as you can see, as expected, the lines don't change:

    That's good news. 🙂

    Although if you do come across this issue again and are able to save the file in that state, it may be worth logging a case so we can check there isn't an underlying problem.
