Array Issue with New Center Mark entity

DB Community,

 

I created a block using the 2016 Center Mark entity.

When I use an array action on the center mark, it has unusual behavior.

Here is the block in its default state.

After stretching to get a second occurrence, the center mark has moved instead of getting duplicated.

After stretching to three occurrences and then back to a single occurrence, the center mark is out of position. It is worse as the number of array occurrences increases.

I can explode the center mark to get standard lines, then the issue goes away. I would prefer not to do that.

Has anyone else had troubles using the 2016 center mark in dynamic blocks?

Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your replies.

 

Regards,

Jerry

There was a thread that showed the exact same issue a few months back.  The center mark item will not array properly.  As you found, you can explode it or recreate it as linework and the linework will array correctly.

Thanks, Andrew.

I had searched the forums for the issue, but could not find anything.

Thanks for confirming the issue.

Jerry
