Problem with Wireframe view after ClipView applied

**Ron Duke** · 09 December 2016, 10:42 PM

This creates difficulty editing in wire frame view when you have objects clipped to other objects.
I've clip viewed a shadow on the second example to illustrate. Look at the loss of lines from which to edit in this mode.
See the examples...

NO one else has noticed this problem?

I have not encountered this Ron.

Anyone! Humor me and draw something like I have attached. Just some simple shapes, group them, and then add as a separate shape a black shape and add a 50% flat transparency to it. Then clip view the black shape to the grouped shapes. Then look at the drawing in wire frame view.
What do you see?
Below, the top two images are before clip view applied and the bottom two are with the clip view applied.

If all lines of all shapes are visible, then the problem is mine only, and I'll have to go to Xara to see if they can determine why this is happening on my computer/software only.

Just to level the playing field, you could upload your example file.

Here it is Mike. Thanks.

I get what you do Ron.

Thanks Mike. It's nice to know I'm not alone with this. Having this "bug", as I view it, makes it very difficult and a hassle to go back and edit.

Yes, I don't use clipview much but I've noticed that behaviour too occasionally. I wasn't sure I was remembering correctly but here's wireframe screengrabs of your attached xar in XDPx10 & XDPx12:

EDIT: XDPx11 renders the same as XDPx10
