panning deselction in viewport

[builder604]

I have a drawing (second actually) that started deselcting objects in viewports. I tried deleting all hatches.  If i maximize the viewport the objects remain selected.  If I unlock the viewport then the objects remain selected.  Is there a solution for this?  

[builder604]

I just tried copying all entities in the drawing to another new drawing and the panning works.  Dont know for how long but it works for now.  One cant keep making new drawings and copying into them.

I also found out that if pick 101 or more entities that the entities remain selected when panning even though they are not visibly selected until zooming in or out or executing a command.  so if you select more than 100 entities then they are deselected.

for a temporary work around.  go to options/selection tab and set Object selection limit for display of grips to 1   

if you do that then as long as you select at least 2 entities before panning they will still be selected eventhough not visibly until zooming or initiating a command.  

Hope that helps someone figure out exactly what the problem is.

Hi,

>> even though they are not visibly selected

I'm not sure about the "visibly selected" term, if you mean that grip-points is the mark for "visibly selected" then this is wrong, sorry.

Selected means nothing more then in a selection set and you can see that on the entities with the highlight-effect, in your release that's something like a bit lighter and dashed.

Number of Grip-Points on the objects (and if they are created on display or not) is limited (out of performance reasons) with the setting you showed in the options (or sysvar GRIPOBJLIMIT).

Back to your original question: do just the grip-points disappear or are previouly selected objects really unselected?

This issue is caused by extremely dense hatch patterns. For example, if you using Earth hatch pattern, but the area displays like a solid fill, the hatch scale is most likely too dense for the drawing size. 

Solution

Select the hatch In the Hatch Editor Ribbon Tab or Properties Palette change the hatch scale. Depending on the pattern definition the scale may need to be increased or decreased.  If the hatch is meant to display solid, choose the Solid Hatch Pattern.  If you have many areas of hatch, you may need to sort through each area to determine which is causing the issue. Use the QSELECT and ISOLATE commands to make this search easier.  Type QSELECT and hit Enter Choose Object Type "Hatch" Choose Operator "Select All" Select "Include in new selection set" Uncheck  "Append to current selection set" Right-click and choose Isolate>Isolate Objects Now only the hatch objects will be visible Erase a small area of hatch Right-Click and choose Isolate>End Object Isolation Open a Layout tab Activate a viewport, select some objects, and attempt to pan If the objects are unselected when you attempt to pan, the issue persists Click or type UNDO until the Erased hatch area returns Repeat steps 1-13 until the offending area of hatch is found
