Locked layer/object color oddity

In the file below, a circle and a line. Both on the same layer, but two different linetypes (which incidentally look the same) - one is Border and the other is Dashdot.

I have the shaded display mode modified to “Use specified lock color” which is a dark gray. Now, lock the layer CL. Only the line grays out…

LockedLayer.3dm (50.0 KB)

In my case border linetype shows as long dash short dash

When both linetypes are set to dashdot, both gray out when locked.

When both are set to linetype by layer and that is continuous or border, nothing grays out

Hi -

I can’t reproduce any of this on my end.
I went back to an earlier 8.16 to make sure that this is not something that got fixed in 8.17.
Perhaps I need the .ini file for the display mode?
-wim

I tested on 8.16.25021.13001, 2025-01-21. I used a basically default as-installed scheme/version of Rhino to test, not my custom workspace.

I did a reset to defaults on Shaded mode - then locking the layer doesn’t gray out anything.

I then set the Shaded mode to this:

That is the only modification that I made to the display mode after setting it back to defaults.

Ini here:
MSH-Shaded.ini (15.4 KB)

The result is this:

Hi Mitch -

Thanks.

Based on that one, it sounded like your expectation was (is?) that both the circle and the line were to gray out and I checked the “Apply these settings to layers” option because of that.

With that option unchecked, none of the objects should get grayed out.

We’ve had the issue on the list for a while for annotation objects and I’ve added this thread to that item.

-wim

Well both the line and the circle are on the same layer, so I expect them to do the same thing - regardless of other settings. The only difference between the line and the circle (aside from the object type) is the applied linetype. If I change the linetype of the circle to DashDot, it grays out at the same time as the line. If I change the linetype of the line to Border, then neither gray out. I expect that they should behave the same in either case.
