New Polyline Behavior In AC12

Anonymous
Not applicable
I just drew a rectangular polyline using the "rectangle" mode by drawing it from the lower-left corner to the upper-right corner. When I select on the lower-left hotspot to stretch the corner, it acts as if the polyline isn't closed. I wind up with a rectangle on which 3 side are in their original position, but the fourth one's end point isn't on the rectangle anymore. (See screen shot)

I checked AC10 and AC11 and neither one of them had this behavior. I find it very annoying because, if I want to move the position of the lower-left corner I have to do one line, then the other. Is anybody else getting this freakish behavior?

Jay,

Yup, I get that too. It is only the bottom left hand corner, the others all behave "properly". This seems like a bug to me, but perhaps someone can explain how this is really a design feature that we really want.

Yes, And it happens at which every corner you start your polyline from. Not just the bottom left. I leave it to you to report it.

That's not a bug. That's a feature.

I really wish Graphisoft would include fewer of these "features".

Just reported to GS, in case it was not already on their list.
