Another Structure problem

[Anonymous]

I was following bmossman's problem with structures, but it appears that I
have a different one. I spent nearly 3 hours yesterday trying to get
manhole structures to plot in profile view. It shows in the drawing but
will not plot. (They also do not show in the drawing plot preview.) After
checking out everything except Don R's social security number I used the
structure properties and changed the wall thickness from 5" to 6" and they
all plotted.

Go figure. If anyone has a clue about this, please let us know.

Thanks,

Bill

Bill, i had the same problem...you could see the manholes on screen but they weren't plotting. I then thawed & turned on all layers & they plotted.... so that led me to believe it was putting it on the wrong layer. I exploded the structure 3 times & was placing it on a layer that was frozen & wasn't defined in any of my styles. I haven't found a way around this yet other than thawing all layers in the profile view.

BMAN:
I hear you. I would have thought the same, but when I only changed the
manhole wall thickness from 5" to 6" it plotted.
