AutoCAD - Wrong vertex display when pedit polyline in block editor

3wood — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 13:55:01 GMT

When I edit the vertex of a pline with command PEDIT in a block editor, if the Z extrusion direction of the pline is negative, the indicative node cross is shown at wrong spots.

Is it a bug?

I attached the example dwg for testing.

Vertex in Block Editor is correct, having X scale as negative changes the display of the block but not the definition.

For what it's worth, for me it does not do that if I edit the Block using REFEDIT rather than BEDIT.

Run FLATTEN command in your file, that seems to fix it all:

FLATTEN does add new blocks with different names though which could cause other issues. I'd just MIRROR copy the block and BEDIT it and delete it afterwards.

Instead of pline in block, even a simple pline has the same problem. When using PEIDT the node mark runs away and appears on other side of the Y axis if the extrusion direction is (0, 0, 1).

I hope this issue can be fixed in the next version.

I need say "Yes" when FLATTEN prompts "Remove hidden lines?", otherwise the node mark still appears at wrong location.

You are correct. But even pline itself (not in a block) has the same issue.
