Multipart path behaves as flat

RVERP
RVERP over 9 years ago

Sometimes, multipart path in my layout behave as flat. For example, when i move a mpp, only the main path moves, and all the subparts appear to stay in the same place.

If I restart virtuoso, the mpp move behaves normal again, but the subparts are permanently shifted.

This breakup only appears when I use custom skill code to draw rodPaths. Also mpp that are already in place before the rodPath procedure are also affected.

Any idea what is the cause of this?

    I've never seen this behaviour. Which version of the tools are you using? (Help->About in the CIW will tell you the subversion)

    Regards,

    Andrew.
