No Hub Couplings in 2016

My No Hub couplings in 2016 have get a weird halo in the connector when they are rotated. See attached image.

Anybody else seeing this?

I am using 2016 as well and just tried to see if I could get the same halo you are talking about by rotating 45 degrees up. I am not seeing the halo, what material are you using?

Cast Iron. Material hasn’t changed. None of the previous versions did this.

I am placing attacher arrow at the end of a pipe. Using ALT and rotating attacher arrow 45 degrees and then drawing a comby or just drawing a coupling and the halos appear.

It also happens if I do a “Takeoff as cutin” and roll the comby.

Tried a couple of our configurations as well as the 2016 Autodesk config and do not see this.

Tried 2016 both with and without SP1.

Give the Autodesk's default content a try. That should isolate if it's an issue with the software/install or your content.

As much as I can, I try to recrease my issues w/Autodesk's content when sending them to them to eliminate the whole "it's your database" part of the equasion.

Check your PDSIZE

I can re-create the issue using Autodesk content.

To be more specific I am using the "Cut-In" option for the fitting and then using the "Fixer" command line option. In the Fix and Rotate dialog I am checking the "Fall in degrees" box and then inputting -45 to roll the fitting. Once fitting is placed in the drawing the couplings come in with the halo.

I have narrowed it down to couplings rotated at 45 degrees. Couplings rotated at any other angle do not produce the halo.

i have been seeing the same thing lately, but i dont think it was no hub,

edit, here it is, it is non-pitched sch40 cs. the weld and the flange are showing it.

my pd size is 0

Almost looks like markers for collision checks.

Are you running collision detection?
