LINETYPES OVERWRITTEN??

[shaunamorain]

OK, I posted this at the end of another thread, the closest one I could find on the topic- but no one answered, maybe it wasn't viewable.


I already know how to create line styles & how to load them into the view- but someone in my office has stumbled into a predicament:

When creating a filled region, under the type pull-down, instead of the different line types listed there is a list of all the different drafting views that he has created. When I change the type to a different drafting view that is listed, the filled region will change, as wanted- but there is no way of knowing which line style to choose....:screwy:

Does anyone know how the line styles were overwritten by the drafting views & how to fix?????

Thanks!!

Never seen this and not sure if I understand what's going on....could you post a screen shot?

ok- I can't get onto his computer at the moment, so hear is an example on mine.

I'm attempting to create two filled regions of different styles-

but on his computer, in the pull-down, (where the arrow is pointing) instead of different patterns listed, (as in picture) there is a list of all the different drafting views he had created in that drawing.

This list of drafting views also appears in the other pull-down, which is pictured in the second doc.

Now, you can click on those & each one is assigned a different style just like they were created & loaded into the project. The problem with this is that we have no idea what style lies underneath, because they are not named accordingly.

Hmmmm that sounds really odd. Seems like something went haywire because drafting views shouldn't show up in a pull down that is design to show line styles! Have you tried auditing the file when opening?

[shaunamorain]

I have no idea what that means.

Is there an explanation for that in the help?

When you open a Revit file you have the option to Audit the file. By selecting this option Revit will scan, detect, and fix corrupt information in the file.

Can't make version 9.1 do what you are talking about. Send the file to the factory.
