    Autocad objects coloured rgb disappear on mouse over

    Hi there,

    I if I add an object, let's say a line to the DB.  And colour it with an

    RGB (255, 255, 255) value.  When I hold the mouse over the line,

    it disappears.  Move the mouse off the line and it re-appears.

     

    Any-one know why?

     

    Cheers,

     

    Martin.

    Hi,

     

    what happens if you disable SELECTIONPREVIEW?

    Hi.

     

    can you upload this drawing? And what version of AutoCAD plus what background-color do you use?

    I have my BG set to Black.  After your last post I changed it to red to try it out.  And it works as normal.  But I need the background to be black.

     

    Ta,

    Hi,

     

    >> After your last post I changed it to red to try it out

    Oops, when I open your drawing the line is green (RGB = 87,189,55), do you have a problem with your monitor or gc?

    Try this drawing on another workstation, just to verify!

    There is no problem with his monitor.

     

    This is a bug.

     

    When SELECTIONPREVIEW = 1 (dash only), objects with RGB colors disappear completely.

    I have set my background to black, I draw a line with true-color 255,255,255, I set the SELECTIONPREVIEW to 1 and to dashed-only-mode ==> when I move my mouse over the line it does not disappear.

     

    And as the OP stated that he tried also to disable SELECTIONPREVIEW I don't think this is an issue based on that.

    Well, I have SP1.1 installed, maybe that's a difference?

    After having a closer look, It may not be a bug in AutoCAD, because it only happens here when using hardware-accelerated graphics. When I disable that, the line is drawn correctly. The system I noticed the issue with is using an ATI Radeon consumer graphics card and driver, so that's most-likely where the problem is.

    I have just turned hardware accelaration off in options and your right it fixes it.  Not sure how I can leave this off as CAD slows to a crawl.

     

    Thanks loads & DOH at the same time!
