Im using MEP and in MEP2010 the Offset command worked fine on my structural members, offsetting to the direction I picked.

In MEP2012 the offset command now offsets the same structural member to the opposite side of the point I pick.

The structural member is rolled 180 and the way I can correct this offset issue is to roll the SM back to 0, then the offset command offsets to the correct side.

Is there a new setting or something in 2012 that will get the offset command behaving the way it did in 2010 where it does not care about the objects properties and just offsets it correctly?

I was not able to recreate the behavior described.

To resolve your support request, we need additional information from you.

Send us a sample file.  It will help to check settings as well as giving us some more context.

We need to reproduce the issue.  It will help to see your workflow,  the behavior, and where to look for this issue.  There is a free video recorder called www.jingproject.com.  Please make us a video of the issue.  Jing automatically uploads the video to a website called www.Screencast.com, for free.  Jing places a link to the video onto your computers clipboard.  Simply paste that link into a reply to this post and we can then watch it from here.

Joshua,

The sample files are attached.

Thank you

Joshua,

Have you had a chance to look at the files I attached yet?

Not sure how much help this is, as I do not have access to ACA 2012, but I looked at your drawing file in ACA 2010, and the OFFSET command worked as expected on both beams in the file.

[#6]

It happens in my ACA 2012 as per CommCorps post as described.

I.E. beam offsets wrong way on the 180 degrees setting.

But I've never actually used offset before on SM.

Normally always copy@ or array with lisp routine for number/spacing/exact

Always learning ........

I do see the problem in ACA 2011, however.  Very strange.

Are you using the MEP.cuix file or the Acad.cuix file?  To determine that, type CUI at the command line.  There will be a drop down at the top.  Drop that down and look at the various loaded cuix files.  If Acad.cuix appears in the list, then you may be using the Core Acad version of the OFFSET command that does not work with Architecture and MEP objects.  The OFFSET command that is built into MEP.cuix works with our objects.  When users load the Acad.cuix as a main or as a partial, it has the potential to overwrite the Architectural or MEP version of the Core AutoCAD commands that work with our Architectural and MEP objects.

Joshua,

Thank you for looking at this but I do not appear to have the vanilla Acad.cuix loaded (see attached).

I do have the MEP.cuix loaded plus my custom cuix.

Any other ideas?

How was the Commodore.cuix made?  Was there a 3rd party app?  Was the Commodore.cuix made starting from a blank cuix or from an Acad.cuix?
