[Bug Report] CAD2020 previewfilter doesn't work properly.

Anonymous — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 03:26:18 GMT

System var: "previewfilter" is not working properly.

Locked object will still highlight regardless the "Excludes objects on locked layers" option checked or not.

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

you may need to check from OPTIONS command >> Selection tab >> Preview options .

I know where the setting option is. And it doesn't work whether you checked the "exclude locked object and layer" or not, object in locked layer will still highlighted when you make a selection.

The highlighted effect changed (of course), but locked layer item was highlighted, still.

And my other CAD 2018 was highlighted only the active layers' items.

I am going to clarify the bug description:

When system var "SELECTIONPREVIEW" = "3" and exclude locked object is on, when users drag a rectangle selection box, Autocad 2018 will not highlight locked layers' item while 2020 will.

One can reproduce this bug by drawing 2 lines, one in active layer and the other in locked layer, then drag a selection box cover this two item.

I attach a screenshot show the difference.

I checked this and i confirm: Issue replicated with 2020.1.3

(2021 works as expected)

Thanks. Did I complete a bug report or are there another places I should post to file these bug to Autodesk?

This is a user help forum. Bug reports go elsewhere.

Good luck!
