(I posted this in the DBUG forum as well. I'm not sure which way to post a topic is better, but here it seems specific to v19 where the DBUG forum is not. If anyone wants to set me straight, that'd be great.)
In my continuing string of re-newbie question, I’m creating a new set of drawing symbols so they are the ones I want and they scale correctly: section marks, elevations, etc. I started this (in case this info is relevant) by making a copy of an existing symbols folder and then deleting the old symbols before saving the new ones because I couldn’t figure out how to create a wholly new symbols folder. But I’m encountering two problems:
1. Some symbols are repeating the previous one when I save them. At first, I thought they were mirroring, but the text is not mirrored. This only seems to happen when I’m saving the mirrored version of the symbol. For example, I’ve created section marks for left and right sides of sections looking “up” by mirroring with copy on. When I save them as symbols, the first saves correctly, but the second one repeats the first.
2. Some symbols are saving and therefore placing at a previous size. For instance, for my basic detail bug – I “enlarged” it down to a new size and saved it as symbol, but it keeps placing at the previous size.
Using my brand spanking new v 19.
