Vectors Changing

[russ.griffith]

Anyone ever see the line vec and edge vec of a line change after you programmed it.
If so is there a cure?

I've had that happen a few times before with the autoline in 3.7. It even did it for a B&S application engineer when he was here. Take vector points and then construct a line from the points and remove the autoline from your toolbars.

I dont care for the autoline either. It needs some fixin up before I will use it

[kbotta]

I use the pt method (vect) a lot...seems to work fine..

I had problems with the autoplane too, so it is no longer in my toolbars either. I have not checked MR3 yet to see if they fixed them anyone know?

Dont use autoplane, autoline with 3.7 mr2 or less, these are buggies, now with 3.7 mr3 works well, but I dont see any advantages to use them versus measured plane or line,
autoplane on Version 4.0 works very well since there is a new option to detect holes on the CAD model, hits will be spaced according with CAD

I use autoplane in 3.7MR3 and haven't had any vector problems. The only problem I've had is when moving a program from PC to PC sometimes it will tell me that my autoplane is not a supported feature in current version. I just reconstruct it and go on. I've never had luck with autoline.

I had the vectors changing when I create an "Auto Cirle". In my case this happenned if I accidentally touching the part with the styli while the auto feature dialog box is still open. I have to then reset the vectors to whatever they were.
