Hi, Steve

?

OK – I think I can walk you through the problem I’m having. It happens in the following sequence:

?

1. Import a dl file, open in Ucinet, and save the data ?No complaints from Ucinet—just a square matrix of 1s and 0s (it’s a co-author matrix)
2. Open the Ucinet datafile in NetDraw—spread of networks open without arrowheads is displayed
3. Save that configuration as a vna file
4. Reopen the vna file—arrowheads are showing
5. Can’t toggle all the arrowheads off

?

A morning’s worth of experiments narrows the issue down to saving a new vna file, and then reopening that same vna file. It doesn’t matter what I’ve done to the NetDraw networks – pulling them about or just leaving them as the original analysis presented them. It’s that second round of opening the vna file that seems to generate the problem.

?

I’m attaching

• the raw data set,
• the Ucinet data files #d and #h files),
• 2 vna test files from the same data file (one where the networks were tweaked and one where they were left alone) and
• a series of screen shots in MS Word that illustrate what I’m getting with my computer and the Ucinet/NetDraw

?

Insights welcome.
