V16 Slice problem with BKS

christoph leipold

 I have updated to V16 and encounter a problem with slicing:

The slice plane lies always vertical to the view vector - I cannot change it. 

I tried to manually set BKS to WKS - did not help.

Is there any klick within the options dialogue?

I do not have this problem with my V15 - luckily I have kept on my PC.

Interesting. I don't experience that anomaly; the behavior here is normal.

Do you get these prompts (appropriately localized)?
Select entities:
Entities in set: 1
Select entities:
Specify first point on slicing plane or [Object/Surface/Zaxis/View/XY/YZ/ZX/Line-point/3points] <3points>:

  Dear Richard.

Thank you for your help.

Here a description step by step of my problem:

1. Create rectangle

2. Extrude vertical

3. Command "Slice" and pick cube (1 object in  set)

4. Select plane "xy"

5. Select "Midpoint" of vertical side

6. right klick = "Both" 

Result is a slice within the plane vertical to my viewpoint vector

When I rotate the view, the slicing plane stays within the viewpoint vector (although I chose "XY" as slicing plane!!)

6a. Result with rotated view

I think there must be a klick to be set in the options dialogue, but I do not find any.

Best regards

Christoph

Have exatly the same problem.
__slice command ignore any BKS inputs
and is unusable since Update to Bricscad 16 !

I think this is a problem that only occurs in the German version. Selecting 'XY' somehow results in selecting 'Ansicht' (View). Maybe using "_XY" instead of "XY" works.

 It seems as this is the solution:

_xy for the slicing plan worked as required

xy delivers a slicing plane vertical to the viewpoint vector

A translation problem within the german version!

Thank you for conforming this.
