Bentley Microstation: Linear Pattern Question

[rad97aggie]

BACKGROUND.&nbsp;&nbsp;I work at Caltrans, and we are required to use linear patterns for delineation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Linear patterns are not that great because they do not retain their identity as part of the original line.&nbsp;&nbsp;This means that you can't just move or delete the linear patterned line as it is.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been getting around this by using the &quot;delete pattern&quot; command, which basically &quot;undoes&quot; the patterning.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I can modify or delete the original line as I wish.&nbsp;&nbsp;Later on I can re-linear pattern the line, if needed.<br><br>THE PROBLEM.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately the &quot;delete pattern&quot; command is no longer working on some of my linear patterned elements.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of two odd things has been happening when I try to &quot;delete pattern&quot; on these particular elements:&nbsp;&nbsp;1) The &quot;delete&quot; pattern command does not recognize that the little pattern piece that I am clicking on used to be part of a bigger line, and it seems to be just trying to un-pattern the little piece; otherwise 2) The &quot;delete&quot; pattern command recognizes that this little pattern piece used to be part of a bigger line.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, instead of re-displaying the original line, it appears that the command is deleting the original line.<br><br>ANY IDEAS OR POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS???<br>Thank you!<br>
