Bug in Options for Arrow

Post by sambuddy »

Line Style/Thickness selection uses OR logic, but it should be AND. It allows to select either style OR thickness, but not both. For example: select a dashed style, then select thickness, the result is a solid line, not dashed.

It's not a bug. It's an API limitation, on WIndows (I'm not sure about the Mac), you can only have a line style with thickness of 1.

The following website details this,

And we need to make sure the Mac and Windows versions are the same.

In Windows drawing apps one can select any style with any width. Selections of style and width should not be in the same logical group, otherwise they are mutually exclusive. If it is not a bug, then it is a strange Vensim "limitation."
