Grid and Line Issue (appears to be dashed)

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 20:55:45 GMT

I am using AutoCAD 2017 on Dell XPS 13.
i am facing this issue where all lines appear to be dashed. It has nothing to do with the line property. As you can see from the screenshot attached, the grid lines and the normal solid lines appear to be dashed. I did not change any setting when i opened Autocad. I faced the same issue while i had AutoCad 2016 and so i uninstalled that and got the 2017 version. Please help me solve this issue.

Thank You,

Fauwaz Khan

Have you tried toggling hardware acceleration on or off?

Does your video card show up on the certified hardware list?

Does this happen on all dwg's or just this one?

Welcome to these Forums!

I'm going to take a stab in the dark.... A lot of similar display oddities seem to be solvable for some Users by turning off Hardware Acceleration. Try that, as a start.
