Illustrator bar graph ticks forget formatting when Value Axis set to top side or both sides
this looks annoying bug (illustrator cs6, 16.0.4, mac - lion). it's strange might result of else, if has ideas please let me know because it's causing me serious problems.
steps replicate:
- set 3 bar graphs (i.e. horizontal bar charts), data , text labels. set them in type value axis > tick marks > full width
- under graph > type, leave 1 value axis: on bottom side. change 1 value axis: on top side. change 1 value axis: on both sides
- change stroke width , colour of these tick marks / lines correct way - clicking twice 'plus arrow' group selection tool select whole group, , applying formatting group.
- update chart, e.g. change data or go object > graph > type , hit okay,
desired behaviour: re-drawn tick lines should keep assigned formatting other groups in graph.
what see: desed behaviour happens when value axis set on bottom side. when value axis set on top side, tick lines reset ugly default - 1pt thickness , pure black. when set both, lines associated bottom labels keep formatting, lines associated top labels forget formatting , revert default.
is else? other versions?
are there workarounds avoid this?
i'm trying set chart templates need labels on top side, , need editable without losing formatting. bug stands making simple task impossible.
no answer yet, i've found there's more bug. if set value axis: on both sides, put in seperate settings bottom axis , top axis, settings top axis ignored , settings bottom axis behave top axis (i.e. affected bug).
e.g. if set 'bottom axis' 'none' , top axis 'full width', there no lines. if set 'bottom axis' 'short' , top axis 'full width', there short lines, @ top, not bottom set, , there no full height lines.
