[IDV #GDV-904807]: Error w drawing: Importing drawing Index: 3, Size: 3



> 
> Good morning. I'm trying to draw a line of site from the ground to a plane above the clouds. The line will have 2 separate sections that are different colors (so 2 lines with same lat/lon, but different altitudes and colors) with a 3d airplane at the top of the line. I generated the enclosed file to that, but when I try to load it (my images are already loaded) I get the error "Importing drawing Index: 3, Size: 3" and no lines are drawn. Could you explain what this error means?

Hi Katie,
The problem is the airplane symbol entries:
<symbol color="155,48,255" coordtype="LATLON" filled="false" fulllatlon="false" name="Glyph 3" points="24.501964,-80.502705,8800.000000" scale="1.0" symbol="AIRPLANE3D" times="2006-03-01 01:00:00Z"/> 

The coordtype is "LATLON" so we are expecting consecutive lat/lon pairs in the points attribute. We treat the extra "8800" in the string as the LAT of the next pair and then go to read the LON which causes the error. You should set the coordtype to be LATLONALT.
