Copy and Pasting issue

Postby ThrowAway » Wed Jan 20, 2016 3:26 am

Every time I copy and paste a vertical line it has a width of 0. The issue is also with horizontal lines pasting with a height of 0. I must have clicked some where I shouldn't have.

Hi - I cannot replicate your problem.

What version are you running? Have you tried to create a new file, and draw only one vertical line - and THEN tried to copy/paste?

Are you talking about the stroke width? Or are you talking about the object's (line's) height/width?

No matter what the stroke width is, a vertical line does have zero width, and a horizontal line does have zero height!

Byrnn, that makes sense and it was the stroke width that I was having problems with. After pasting I wasn't able to change the stroke width for me to see the line. Though, I was able to copy and paste what I was working with to an new file and it work fine now.

Thanks guys for looking into this.
