In the past I always used single arcs for crow's feet, and on a separate layer from all other objects and labeling.
I recently am drafting something, using other's standards, and I've inserted crow's feet as the typical dash-dot-dash arc.?ÿ Now at first it acted as if it were an arc, one entity.?ÿ But now, all of my crow's feet have exploded or something, so that it's a small arc dash, dot, arc dash, all separate entities.?ÿ I didn't explode them.
Anyone know how this happened, and how to make it go back?
Carlson created those originally as an arc dash, dot, and arc dash, then made them an Unnamed Group.?ÿ I know of no way to globally re-group all those elements to recover the original groupings.?ÿ You could group each set of 3 objects, one set at a time, but I've never found it worth the effort.?ÿ There are probably a couple of possible ways they became ungrouped - made into a block of with other objects, aligned, then the block exploded - inserted the drawing into another drawing - Mars was at an inauspicious alignment with Jupiter...
Huh.?ÿ What's even more strange, if I open the dwg in Carlson 2018, they're all single entities again.?ÿ But close and re-open in 2015, and they're all separate entities.?ÿ I hate this crap.
When you LIST a leader in Carlson 2018, does it list three objects, or only one?
Ctl A did the trick, ACAD toggle for groups.
I stumbled on that fix.?ÿ It's pretty stupid, but I'm a drafting idiot, I guess.

Thanks for trying to help, Peter.

Ctl A??ÿ I'll have to look that one up.
