why can't I edit 3D poly lines in the properties dialogue anymore

I used to be able to edit the vertex elevation of 3D polylines in the properties dialogue now I can't all it gives me is the length and min max elevations. Is there a sys var I might have unknowingly changed?

Many thanks,

Ben

    A dwg can contain 3 kinds of polylines, which is confusing...

    • 3D polylines: edges don't have to be co-planar, arc-segments are not supported
    • 2D polylines: edges must be co-planar, supports arc-segments, uses deprecated older 'heavy' type of data structure,
    • Polylines: similar to 2D polylines, using optimized 'light' data structure

    The polyline type creation is controlled by the PLINETYPE system variable (see Settings dialog)

    The type of a selected polyline is displayed at the top of the Properties panel.
    From what you write, I have the impression the selected polyline is not a '3D polyline'

  • Thanks Hans,

    But I am definitely creating 3D Polylines. See attached snip of properties. Cannot edit verices.
