Hello,

When I working with identification symbols, I get sometimes dashed identification symbols, see attachment.
I know it has something to do with references (i heard something in a drafting course).
Normally I delete them and make them again until I have got
rid of them all. But how can I get from dashed back to the original without deleting them first?

It is not the end of the world, but it is bugging me not knowing how to do this properly.

With kind regards,

Olaf

It normally means the associative origin is missing some reference. Go to Edit -> Annotation -> Origin -> pick the ID Symbol -> Apply -> Respecify Origin.

Hello Ufsure,

Thanks, I was in that menu, but the apply was not green, so I didn't select it.
With your info it was so easy that I am a little embarrassed now.

With kind regards,

Olaf
