Just upgraded to 8 and am kind of regretting it. Lots of things have changed I guess and its really slowing me down. Here’s the most annoying,
In 6 I could draw a closed polyline with straight sections and then put a small fillet on one corner using
Radius=1 Join=Yes Trim=Yes ExtendArcsBy=Arcs
After that each straight segment of the polyline be converted to an arc with a maniputable control point in the middle. Pretty much what "ConverttoBeziers) would do except the the segments stayed joined together.
8 Seems to have more fillet options (Extendothercurvesby= , Dynamic=) but I can’t get any combination to provide the same function.
Many people requested this not to happen because they wanted straight segments to remain degree 1 without the extra control point being automatically added. I’m not sure there is a setting to change this default behavior, but you can use ChangeDegree Deformable=No and change the degree to 2 to bring back the V6-like curve.
@travis4 was adding a small fillet a way to get the rest of the rectangle to be degree 2? If so, skip that step and use ChangeDegree > 2 as Helvetosaur mentions.
Awesome. Thank you Pascal and Helvetosaur. SHould have just been doing this all along. Any insight on getting the views to default to cplane? 6 did that when you selected the cplane.
Perhaps you are running into the AutoCPlane? If so, turn that off on the status bar. If this is something else, I’ll need hand-holding to understand the issue.
