 Line control curve codes not drawing in TBC

I have line feature definitions with preset line offsets set under "lines and symbols".  this works fine in Access.  However, if I have a line with a curve in it, the curve shows in Access but NOT in TBC.  TBC drops the curve entirely for a straight line.  Is this a bug?  See attached FXL file.  code HDPC1R if used with curve code SC or TC works in access, does not work in TBC.

one thought.  Is the SC/TC code assigned in the FXL that is uploaded to TBC added to the that FXL inside TBC?

Not to be patronizing, but you are processing feature codes, right?

just to reiterate what francisco said. are you sure tbc is using the same fxl file. if you have a template with an older version of an fxl file saved in it then it will default to that version unless you go into the settings and change it each time or update the template.

Yes same FXL file.  Yes I've ran feature codes, thats how I know its not drawing the curve, there would be no lines drawn if I had not ran feature codes.  Just for background, I'm a PLS, I've been using this software for many years.

Without seeing the data.  the next question for some would be have you been able to do curve before and what TBC version are you running?

Could you do a test inside TBC with the FXL curve linecode?
