Hi @pascal , the option helper in polyline doesn’t recognize horizontal and vertical lines anymore. Bug? Thanks Michael www.flexiCAD.com

Hi Michael - I think it is the same as it’s been = use SmartTrack (or Ortho) for the verticals and horizontals. -Pascal

Hi Pascal, yeah, that’s what I mean, helper doesn’t find orthogonals like in Rhino 5. (BTW, this was a customer note). Thanks Michael

Hi Michael - I’ve had a coffee, and I am still missing something - in V5, Polyline helpers do not find verticals and horizontals (parallel to CPlane X and Y - that is what you mean, right?). I only get that feedback if SmartTrack is enabled - same in V6 as far as I can see. -Pascal

Hi Pascal, hm, coffee. :slight_smile: In Rhino 5 I get these helper lines without SmartTrack, in Rhino 6 not. Here a Rhino 5 test: Thank you Michael

Hi Michael, i do get the Helpers=Yes lines with SmartTrack disabled using (6.5.18105.2211, 04/15/2018) can only test using english as i do not have the german language pack installed. [Helpers] Maybe this has been fixed already? What version do you test with? _ c.

Hi Clement, try to switch off Grid Snap, then you will see no helper for straight lines. Thank you for your time Michael

Hi Michael, it seems to work here with lines and all snaps disabled: [Helpers2] _ c.

I think the point here is that no helper lines for horizontal or vertical are shown, unless it is on an extension of an existing horizontal or vertical segment. In the video they do appear, but not in v6 AFAICS. Using shift to toggle Ortho seems to work as a workaround I guess?

Hi Clement and Nathan, thank you for your help. I contact the customer, if he is happy with this. Cheers Michael

@pascal from first video see 00:15-00:17. The vertical helper for the straight segment to be added does not appear in v6.
