Hi: Notice how the line does not start and end at the dot. Maybe it is my setup. Happens in both 6.5 and 6.4.3. This is board X. Thanks.

Notice in this example how the line starts and ends to the side of the dots.

Have you checked Preferences - LOS Tab - Snap Thread to Grid? It should be checked.

bdx works fine on my machine. Is it part of a larger map when you have this issue?

I set it and it is still a problem, but just with this board - board x is cropped for this scenario.
Thanks again.

is it cropped to half-hexes or full hexes? Are there any other boards as part of the map?

I cropped to row P, fullhex.

LOS still lines up pretty well.

Which hexrows did you crop?

Looking at your OP, it seems as if the VASL los tool was disabled and you were using the default VASSAL tool (No change in color when blocked, no text). This can happen during setup and you would not be aware of it. Which order did you flip/crop in? it should not make a difference but that doesn't mean it didn't!

Which version of bdX is loading?

No, I always got the color change with the tool.

Board was cropped to Y (inclusive). It was a setup I downloaded from the VASL site for ASLSK scenarios.

This probably explains it.

Do the setup of the board from scratch and I see if the los threads shows properly.
