[arriscad] phantom raster images?

[Neal Logan]

If I understand your question (we've seen this before).

 

I believe that you have copied the raster when you copied to clipboard.

 

When you pasted from one .DB to another .DB, the raster that was copied to
clipboard does not now exist in your target .DB.  If you want those images
to appear, then you will need to copy (in Windows Explorer) the raster
images from the source .DB into the target .DB (make folder: raster.dir,
directly under each .DB).

 

If you do NOT want the raster images you may try this: 1)  move your lines
to  an empty layer, this will leave the layer with 3 entities (the phantom
rasters); 2) clear the layer with phantom rasters; 3) move lines back to the
now clear layer; voila, no more broken diagonal line across screen.

 

Hope this helps

Subject: [arriscad] phantom raster images?

 

I carefully selected lines and text around 3 raster images, copied the lines
and text to clipboard, and pasted in another sheet file.

No raster images to be found in the new destination.

Getting an error: Could not get image size for: example.jpg

This seems to make the coordinates system malfunction as I am getting
astronomical distances in the coordinates box, and am no longer able to find
my data, zoom, or view normal crosshairs, just these broken diagonal lines-
sweet! Just what I was hoping for.

I ran this command script (from 'The Essential ARRIS Handbook')

czm

A0

A(100,100)

I tried removing any stray entities with ANY-AREA OUT-DELETE, then packed
data.

Coordinates look normal again, however still getting same error, and then
same behavior when I attempt zoom all, or exit then reopen the sheet.

Has phantom information from those raster images really carried across the
copy clipboard with the lines and text in some quantum mechanical fashion?
How can I rid my sheet of this mystery data/behavior. 

It is most frustrating.

Thank you-
