Hi, there seems to be a little problem with blocks and contents with properties “by parent”.
To me the problem only occurred when I created the block on one layer (e.g. Layer 01 / color red), with objects color “by layer”, changing the layer of the block to Layer 02 / color cyan, obviously did not change the appearance. If now I edit the block content to color “by parent”. It still does not change anything, although it should be cyan now, instead of red.
Refreshing the block in the block manager does not help, only reopening the drawing.
If I first change the object properties to “by layer” and than create the block it works like it should.
Here is the short version for the bug report:
Draw a line with all properties “by parent”.
Create a block with that line.
Edit block content by changing e.g. color poperties to “by parent”
Close block editor
Select block and put it on a differnt layer with other color.
-the display shows the wrong color (until reopening the file)
Hello - as far as I can see here, in both files,the display follows the display color of the top level block instance - for example, if I change the color for the instance to ‘By Layer’ the instance displays in layer color.
Hi JL - that works here as well. I am using a newer version than you are though. I will revert to sr 13 and see…
@JLH - I can confirm that the problem exists in sr13 and not in sr13. You can get the sr14 ‘release candidate’ by changing the setting in Options> Updates and statistics > ‘Update frequency’ to ‘Service release candidate’
