A line only visible in the block editor

Anonymous — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 07:19:17 GMT

Hallo all,

I have here a dynamic block of a steel profile. This profile has two centerlines. But the centerline's are only visible in the block editor. There is no visibility state used. The line is also dashed but in the properties of the line it looks like a normal line in the 0 layer. I need this line in the other blocks that I want to create, but I don't know how to create this type of line and copying it isn't possible.

Why make it hard for others to help (it's not our problem, so )
Upload your block an everyone can check the properties and settings.

Insertion layer of blockreference on and thawed? Is the first thing you can check.

If we have the cad data we can see what happens, without we have to guess

Hi,

I didn't know you could upload a file here. So I've only added screetshots. (I make use of this forum for the first time). Thank you for your tip.

Hi,

These are the construction lines used inside the block just for reference and these lines won't get plotted nor will be visible outside the block editor. The first time I saw these lines I was puzzled when it was not visible outside the block editor and it took me almost a day in finding out what these lines were and finally found out these were just reference lines.

In order to draw these lines, First draw a polyline or line and type in command BCONSTRUCTION and select the polyline and it will be converted to reference line/ construction lines.
