Grips

I am running AutoCAD 2014.  When I select any random object, (line, circle, block, etc.), to activate grips, the grips will go away (deselect) if I pan or scroll to grab more objects. This didn’t happen in the past. Is there a setting that I may have inadvertently changed?

I've never been able to recreate this issue myself, but there seems to be an issue where dense/corrupt hatches can cause what you've described.  If you have hatches in the drawing, try deleting them, or turning off their layer and see if that fixes the pan/deselect issue.  If so, you may have to re-create the hatches to "solve" the problem.

Thanks nestly2! i'll try the suggestion, but i dont recall the issue being limited to Darwings with hatches.

You might also check to see if it happens in MS, or only in a Layout/Viewport.

I checked my AutoCAD Notes and found this entry:

 

 

GRIPS: DISAPPEARING: 080314FR:

If the Grips disappear while selecting a number of objects, use GRIPOBJLIMIT to set the maximum number of grips permitted.

Just rest the GRIPOBJLIMIT. it was defaulted to 50. Will test the new setting and reply back. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Did the GRIPOBJLIMIT setting help to resolve this?

I keep my own AutoCAD notes, gathering info from many different sites.

I always keep record of who wrote what, where, and when.

This info appears at the bottom of each note.

 

 

The answer I was quoting was frp, tje AutoCAD Discussion Groups and was written by C.O.Jones, March 13, 2008 at 21:11(GMT).

He was responding to a post "Selection more tha 50 objects and I lose GRIPS", written by cadanator

I like to give credit to those who solve our problems.
