'PN transparent command not working correctly in 2015

[dhenderhan]

This is the first time i've tried drawing 3d polylines through point numbers in 2015 and it's not working properly.  And it's sporatic too....sometimes it smaps to points that aren't in the range I entered, another time it drew three polylines along the same range of points even though I entered three different ranges.  I'm under the gun on a project and have messed with this for an hour.  It would take me three or four hours to draw them manually, very intense topo with a lot of breaklines. I have tried an audit ont he drawing, re-booted, and even repaired the install.  Anyone have anything on this???? HELP!

I've not seen any problems with the 'PN transparent command. Do you have SP1 installed? I do, even though the readme says nothing about this issue it's possible something was changed in the SP to address this.

I do.  I think I stumbled onto something.  It seems a while back I remember hearing something about running Osnaps being an issue that conflicts with this.  I made sure the Osnaps were off and then it worked, but I haven't had an issue with this for a long time.  Who knows!  I will do some further testing when I don't have the dragon breathing down my neck and we'll see.

Try to toggle the OSNAPZ value, sir.

Hi David/everyone,

I'm curious to know if you noticed any further problems with this command after turning your Osnaps off? I am running Civil 3D 2014 here at work (with SP2), and just needed to use the 'PN command for the first time since getting the new software.

I had the same problems as you at first, and came and found your suggestion for turning Osnaps off. It worked perfectly for me the first couple of times I used it, but on the 3rd featureline I was building, it started giving me the same problem, even though my Osnaps were off.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Leslie
