Lines showing up on page

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 00:29:56 GMT

These Lines are showing up on my screen. If I type REGEN they come back in different directions. If I zoom in or out they also change. They do not show up when printing. How do I get rid of them.

WBLOCK the contents to a new drawing to see if the issue persists. If so, the geometry needs to be inspected. If the issue doesn't exists after the wblock, then I would recommend continuing with the new file as your existing file could be corrupted.

Hi,

I suggest to Diasable your hardware acceleration from 3Dconfig command.

Turn off LINESMOOTHING and LINEFADING variables: your video card is choking under AutoCAD.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

If turning off Smooth Lines (GRAPHICSCONFIG) doesn't work, try setting PDMODE to 0. It is possible that these lines are Nodes (points).

I did not try this yet but I will. Would you say that this option would save me from having to turn off acceleration?

If you are wanting to leave acceleration on I have seen some have luck changing from 2D wireframe to wireframe and it got rid of the lines for them but this of course is not a solution but just a work around and is not recommended.
