Hello,
V7 behaves differently from V6 with regard to curves display through surfaces.
When a curve is selected, it displays with the standard yellow selecion highlight through surfaces regardless of the display mode. That is good, and the behaviour is the same in V6 and V7.
However, after a curve has been the subject of a Bring Forward action, and it is no longer selected, the behaviour differs between V6 and V7.
Even though a curve has been the subject of a Bring Forward action, its position in 3D space relative to surfaces in front should dictate its display according to the selected display mode.
Under V6 before Bring Forward, with the curve deselected:
Mode Curve visible through surface?
Shaded No
Rendered No
Ghosted Yes - OK
Technical No
Artistic No
Pen No
Arctic No
Raytraced No
Under V6 after Bring Forward, with the curve deselected:
Mode Curve visible through surface?
Shaded Yes - probably wrong
Rendered No - this has been useful, but now lost in V7
Ghosted Yes - OK
Technical Yes - probably wrong
Artistic Yes - probably wrong
Pen Yes - probably wrong
Arctic No - this is as I would expect
Raytraced Yes - probably wrong
Under V7 before Bring Forward, with the curve deselected:
Mode Curve visible through surface?
Shaded No
Rendered No
Ghosted Yes - OK
Technical No
Artistic No
Pen No
Arctic No
Raytraced No
Under V7 after Bring Forward, with the curve deselected:
Mode Curve visible through surface?
Shaded Yes - probably wrong
Rendered Yes - this is the one that is annoying
Ghosted Yes - OK
Technical Yes - probably wrong
Artistic Yes - probably wrong
Pen Yes - probably wrong
Arctic Yes - probably wrong
Raytraced Yes - probably wrong
