DirectContext Rectangle Jig

vob62651 — Fri, 19 May 2023 01:52:02 GMT

i am wanting to draw line from 2 points and can preview and i am referencing the code from this article The Building Coder: Onbox, DirectContext Jig and No CDN (typepad.com). But I have a problem that when canceling the order without selecting the 2nd point, a straight line will appear like in the video, only when turning off revit will it disappear. how can i fix it. Thanks!

Hi @vob62651,

I am unable to see a straight line being drawn on itself in the screen recording provided.
I am however able to see faint dotted lines when you align the cursor with the previously drawn line. This is a normal behaviour to help you be able to join or align the lines if need be.
