Copied Featureline arcs grip drag is not working. I have to convert them to line then back to arc to get the mid grip to drag. Anyone else get this?

The midpoint grip that was added in the more recent versions (I'm in 2026) isnt an modify grip in the sense that it can be drug, its a conversion/insert grip.  If you go back to older versions, there is no midpoint grip, you have to edit the curve/radius using the Edit Geometry panel in the Ribbon

Well that's kind of annoying that they added a grip that doesn't let you grip-edit it...  I don't think that was in the spirit of the original idea to let us edit a feature line in the same way we could edit a polyline.  At a minimum, it would be nice to have an edit radius option in the grip menu.  Still work to be done with this!!

I can't drag the grip in 2027. Even on a new Featureline. That may come later. They're still working on the grip editing of Featurelines.

Here is what I'm talking about. Featureline mid-grip has to be converted before you can drag it. Even if it is already converted to an arc you have to put back as a line then back to the arc to get it to drag. Don't get me wrong it's a nice addition however once it is an arc it would be nice to just grip drag it midpoint.

I'd submit it as a feature request.  babysteps I guess, I'm just glad you can get options there without having to go to the ribbon to adjust that portion.  Looks like the ribbon has to still be used to change the radius, but it is still an improvement over 2024 where you didnt even have that grip.
