Polyline Tool Issue

Post by Trickstyle » Mon Mar 13, 2023 3:03 pm

After creating a line with the Polyline Tool, I set the start and end width e.g 0.6. I save and close the file. But when I reopen the file the line has lost its set width. I have other polylines in the same drawing however that do keep their set width.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks. I can confirm the problem.

As a workaround, please set the property "Global Width" instead which simply changes the start- and end width of all vertices of the polyline. This seems to stick. Please confirm.

The workaround appears to be working. Thank you, Andrew.
