AutoCAD 2015 Bugs

[oohaah]

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.

My comment above was in response to an earlier comment I made, not in response to the post above that.

AutoCAD 2015 shifts the print layout when loading a drawing.  When opening the drawing, it takes the saved view and moves it down, and then it loads the Layout/Statusbar over the print layout.  I've logged it with Autodesk and they were able to confirm the bug on their end.

I installed 2015 yesterday, it happened once yesterday and once again today. So far.

The File Menu Bar.. File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, etc.

Randomly all except File disappeared, I closed the drawing and opened a new one, and Edit and View appeared, but all the others (including my custom ones) were still gone. I completely closed out of AutoCAD and got back in and they were all there again.

Weird.

i have just posted this one over in general autocad forum but pretty sure its a bug of some kind:

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-2013-2014-2015/can-not-scale-3d-solids-by-0-001-AUTOCAD-2015/t...

in autocad 2015 i am unable to scale 3d solids by factors < 0.009 or smaller

never encountered that before as i use it all the time to scale mm objects into m units drawings. 2d objects like polylines etc scale by these small numbers just fine.

I can confirm that issue - same happens to me. Some weird stuff with this release.

When I click the Customize icon the menu pops up on the other screen.

The most frustrating bug for me is one where the program semi-freezes up when I hit the scroll bar. I have a track point (not a trackpad, mind you) mouse so all of my mouse controls are quite compact together and hitting the scroll bar is easy to do by accident. Fortunately I can still save projects even after this happens I just lose control of my various cursor tools and the ability to continue working with the project.

Restarting Autocad does solve the problem so I simply save the file, close, and then reopen it.

I am finding that AutoCAD Mechanical is not giving memory back....

On saving a small 3D Model drawing, the Windows task manager shows the memory begin to climb from ~27% usuage to maximum...and when it has finally saved after about 10 minutes, it is still maxed out (CPU on <1%)...and everything is on a go slow.

Having to keep restarting AutoCAD also....

Cheers.

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

This one has been solved.

"Solved".

They could at least suggest using the Shift key while panning.  That will at least emulate the behavior of the horizontal scrollbar.

I've noticed that TILEMODE doesn't work properly in drawings with 12+ layouts. I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but when I attempt to go back to the MODEL tab via TILEMODE it will quickly flash to the MODEL tab and then pick a different layout to go back to that is usually within the first 12 layouts (Most often the third layout, probably coincidence). When it does this however it defeats the purpose of TILEMODE really because I can't go back to the layout I was working on, I am forced to navigate back to it via other methods. Again, I'm not sure if many people are experiencing this, but it would be nice to have it fixed. Also can we please have the option to turn off the layout drop down menu and use the old scroll bar?

Obviously, I was being sarcastic there.

I picked up on it -- not to worry. 

I was just bitterly chiming in.

Not a bug per se, but I hate when they add new features without a way to revert to the traditional way.

e.g. the ribbon galleries. I am not a fan of seeing a picture of all the text styles, multileader styles etc when I want to change styles from the ribbon. I like the list form as it is quicker for a start. However there is no option to turn off the preview.

This from Support:

"Unfortunately there is currently no method to disable the ribbon galleries. I do apologize for the inconvenience. 

Please use the feedback link below to submit a request to have such an option added to a future service pack or release.

I'm sorry that the news is not better at this time in terms of disabling the Ribbon Galleries  but I hope the link above provide a way for you to voice your concerns."

Bug with crosshair size set to 100.  Trailing crosshairs appear.  I have SP1 installed and problem persist. 

[anthonyhernandez99]

I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is a bug that others have found a fix for. (See Screenshot)

I had finished the left hand, and started on the right. Shortly after starting I noticed while drawing with splines that it was starting to snap to a point very far off. 

That's when I noticed other lines I had finished appeared to have darted straight to the right. I can't select or remove these lines.

Also at the bottom left something also looks very weird, clearly.

Any help would be appreciated, I really don't want to have to start over!

Thanks.

I think restarting AutoCAD temporarily fixes the problem.

Instead of a release 2016 with added new features, I wouldn't mind seeing...

New... Release AutoCAD 2015 (Product Version: J.300.0.0, AutoCAD 2015 SP-we finally fixed some things)

[pendean]

That's what 2016 is 😉

Yes, LASSO SELECTION only works on TOP VIEW.
