Dynaviews not plotting point symbols

    Issue with Dynaviews

     If you create a point label with a symbol, PT#, Elev, Desc and display it from a plotbox into a Dynaview, the symbol does not appear.

     The only way I can get this into a document is to export the labels to DWG and import the new DWG and everything shows up.

     No problem with the PT#, ELEV, Desc; it is just the symbol from the point label option.

    So I am using v5.02

     

    I create a Point Label Style called Ron Test

     

     

    I then label 3 Points in the Plan View with these Labels

     

     

    Make sure that in your View Filter Manager - at the base - make sure that the View Filter has "Show Point Symbols" turned on (same applies to the View Filter that you apply to the Dynaview that you place in Sheet View

     

    I then use Create Dynaview Collection and create a DV 1 Column by 1 row at a scale of in my case 1:20 and of the width and height set up by my planset - the light grey box in above picture.

     

    I then add that Dynaview COllection to the Properties of my Imported Plan set and then use Build Sheet to build the Sheet View

     

    And this is what I see in Sheet View (above) (The Point Symbole are visible.

     

    If I however edit the View Filter "My Filter" and turn off Point Symbols at the base of the View Filter Screen, and then apply the My Filter to the Plan Set and Rev=build the Sheet this is what I get

     

     

    The Point Symbols are now missing - so I guess this is maybe what you are doing wrong - can you confirm that this is in  fact the case. I don't think using any shape for the Dynaview Frame - whether it be a Circle, a rectangle, a Plotbox or a Dynaview Collection has any effect on this - so I think this will solve your issue (I hope)

     

    A simple toggle of that switch should solve your issue. If Not can you share an example where it is not working and I can dig deeper here.

    i just tested this and it must have been fixed somewhere along this line in 5.0.

    it did not work in 4.12 and prior

    thanks for the help

    Aha - Gotcha - this was reported to me a while back and I thought we had

    fixed it - I didnt think that you were still using the Older Versions ....

    Actually i have completely moved over to TBC 5.002.

    Had to build a bunch of button strips because i could not find the commands in the new version.

    I posted a bunch of Menu Configs that mimic the old version on the Forum -

    you can use those

     

    Here is the menu that I use - I removed commands from Menus in favor of

    using Sidebar Icons etc.

    Alan,

    I seem to be having trouble with this too and at first it looked like this was my problem so I followed your advice above but still nothing.  I was able to find my point markers in my sheet view but the point marker are shown outside my dynaview and away from where they should be.  These two markers should show the radius points for the main entrance apron.  The text is where is should be but not the markers.

     

     

    This is what it should look like (from Plan View).

     

    Here is the label style manager for those two points.  FYI I can't seem to get the other styles to work right either.  

     

    Please let me know any advice on this.  Thanks!

    Just updated to 5.21 and still can't seem to get it to work.  I did find that if I created a dynaview that is aligned with the axis of the plan view screen then everything seems to show up correctly but if the dynaview is at an angle then it has a problem.  I confirmed this using a new file and just a few sample points.  Can anyone else confirm this too?
