AutoCAD 2015 Bugs

[Anonymous]

Installed autocad 2015;

First bug:

Options dialog box - Open and Save - Application Menu, Number of recently-used files - Asks for an integer from 0-10, yet hover over it and says vaild values are 0 to 50. I had 50 in 2014.

Bug #2: if you like and turn on scroll bars, the horizontal slider is not available.

Not to mention that it has no affect on the Recent Documents on the new AutoCAD start screen...

Maybe that has a different system variable, but if it does, I don't see where that is.

I have a list of bugs that have been persistent through several releases of AutoCAD.  Of that list of 10 bugs, only one was fixed.  The one that was fixed was a bug introduced in 2014, where spell check wouldn't take custom words.  My list gets bigger with every release, not smaller.

Bug #3:

The new Layout/Model tab bar interferes with the paperspace layout view.  For instance, I have a drawing zoomed to extents so that I can see the entire layout.  The drawing is saved and closed.  When I reopen it, the drawing view is loaded shifted down from the top and then the bottom of my drawing layout is covered by the Layout/Model tab bar.  The problem doesn't happen when the Layout/Model bar is turned off, but obviously I'm going to need that for my layouts.

Didn't older versions do the same? It's tied to the Ribbon starting, test it by turning the Ribbon off then cloasing and restarting your file. No Ribbon, no drawing shift.

[nrz13]

I've never used the Ribbon and so I always have it off.  It's definitely still shifting for me with the Ribbon closed.

Does Lasso Selection only work in Top view?

[nrz13]

You can run the command in 3D and other planar views besides top view, although I've had mixed results with it actually selecting what I wanted it to.

[pendean]

I would imagine things would get very confusing if in other than top view.

Hey this next one is a beuaty,

AutoCAD starts up and just makes it to the startup screen before throwing a fatal error, closing down and giving me the good ol' Error Report 🙂

Must be something in my migrated settings it doesn't like, reset to default and starts up ok.

Now just have to find out what it doesn't like

Another fun one, maybe just an option somewhere.

If I enter modelspace of a viewport, I cannot use mousepanning with SHIFT Option for locking pan to one axis. It works in MODELSPACE, or in PAPERSPACE but not when you double click in a viewport in MODELSPACE. Using shift first does start orbit as before.

Works ok for me in factory default mode.

I realized that this bug only occurs with Line Smoothing turned off.  With Line Smoothing turned on, the bug goes away.  Interesting.  Too bad Line Smoothing adds a worse glitch for me (no viewport crosshairs).

Maybe bug or "As Designed"

Bottom toolbar.

Hardware "On-Off"

left click does nothing (all others activate with Left Click)

Must use right click to bring up settings

I'm a big user of the scroll bars, do you have any idea if this will be fixed soon..?

I've been using AutoCad Civil 3D 2015 for the past couple days and occasionally when I enter the Zoom Extents command (via the command line; Z, enter, E, enter) the program gets a fatal error and shuts down. It doesn't happen everytime, only when I get in a drafting rhythm and start typing in commands really fast. Has anyone else experienced this?

You'd think something as simple as this wouldn't be an issue, seeing as this command series has been around since the begging versions of AutoCad. How Autodesk always seems to screw up the simple things, that always worked without a hitch in all the previous releases, is absolutely astonishing...

[nrz13]

Not sure what the deal is, but the Layout/Model tab is always shifting for me, regardless of Line Smoothing being on or off.  I must have been mistaken before.

Shifting?
