Query on the width polyline graphic

satya.yejju — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 09:12:49 GMT

Hi,

I have a DWG file containing a polyline graphic with width values assigned to it. When viewed in AutoCAD viewer, one of the corners does not appear to have a shared edge compared to the other edges. Can you please provide
information on why this behavior occurs? For reference, I've attached the file and a snapshot of it.

Hi,

>>" Can you please provide information on why this behavior occurs?"

I have no information other than "Because it was designed that way"

The angle is around 28.955° ( I would expect 30°, but it isn't)

It seems to me that happens if the extension of the tip of the vertex exceeds twice the width.

As @cadffm said, it was designed this way and cannot be adjusted.

Thanks for the quick reply. So, it seems Working as designed. It would be helpful if there were documentation available detailing this behavior.

The viewer does not allow you to select the object, but in CAD you can see the inverted arrow when selected

And it appears simply adjusting the angle (not a viewer ability) reverses that hidden arrow tip

Which "autocad viewer" are you using exactly?
