Visual Effect Settings?

Hi, 

 

New AC new problem!

 

Does anybody out there know of, or have a lisp that switches back on Selection Preview i.e. thickens and higlights lines when you hover over them?

 

I don't know why, but they are always unticking the boxes.

 

Thanks in Advance.

(setvar "SELECTIONAREA" 1)                                  ; <= Use to switch on

(setvar "PREVIEWEFFECT" 2)                                  ; <= Use for the effect that you described.

... Or to toggle:

(setvar 'selectionarea (abs (1- (getvar 'selectionarea))))

Nothing turns off randomly... You're likely to either have found a bug in the application, or more likely to be experiencing the result of poorly coded custom LISP routines which fail to restore original settings upon exit/error.

 

In order to determine when these changes are occuring, perhaps it would be prudent to register a SysVar Reactor which filters for your desired System Variable(s), so that you're notified immediately following a change to the problem System Variable(s).

 

Hope this helps!
