Autocad 2015 Unable to see polyline when pulling in the direction it needs to go

[Ron-C]

This really has me baffeled !

Autocad 2015 64bit

Win 7 64bit AMD firepro 3900

This particular file ONLY !

When drawing a polyline I do not "See" the line as I pull away I do see + as start point.

I can end the command and see the line, so I'm not on a frozen layer.

If I draw a "Line"  I DO see the line as I pull away

See if anyone can confirm this on the attached drawing.

PLINEWID use zero, that will fix it.

[Ron-C]

That works IF I want my polylines 0" Wide !

Some of mine very in width, so setting to anything but 0" causes

the problem to return

2014 does not have that problem.

Things I've tried in 2015 without success:

Hardware Accelaration On/OFF no help

Smoothline setting off No Help

UCS to plan no help(I thought maybe it was off a degree or 2)

Audit DWG No Help

Restart Autocad 2015 No Help

Reboot Computer restart Autocad 2015 No Help

Thanks for the temp solutions !

I tested with 2008 I'm using, the skinnier pline do the same thing.

Changing them them a little wider then they will highlight when stretch.

Fiquered it out !

The attached DWG was zoomed WAY out, and I was trying to draw a .25 wide polyline.

At that distance it made the poly line not to appear.

Once I change the width to something larger, say 1" then it would appear.

Thanks Patchy

Gotta love these dicussion boards ! SO mcuh help for So many years !

Thaks to ALL !

Did you find a fix when the polyline width is not set to zero ?

Thanks,

[Ron-C]

Only fix so far submitted was to increase the width of the ployline..............

I am also having this issue on two different computers running ACAD Mech 2015.

The solution mentioned does not work for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey.

I appreciate this is an old thread but it has just helped me out with the polyline now being visible when drawing so thank you very much 🙂

However!.... if i move the polyline it disappears during the move command and only reappears when the command is either cancelled or i have placed the polyline.

Unfortunately as you haven't seen the polyline at all during the move command you don't know where it will end up unless you have snapped to a known point obviously.

Has anybody else had this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael.

I had a similar issue. Only one drawing seemed to behave like this. The PLINEWID set to 0 worked!

Thanks Patchy

despite the "solution" offered in this thread, there are others out there with the same problem and this is not the solution.

i have seen drawings where this happens, and i'm convinced there is just something wrong with the "2d wireframe" visual style. even after resetting it.

if you copy paste the polylines into a new file, everything works like it should. the dragged visual of the polylines return.

PLINETYPE = 1  WORKED FOR ME
