Autocomplete displays on wrong side of screen

CabbagePalm — Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:01:16 GMT

I recently got a new computer, and my Autocomplete box is showing up on the far right side of the screen instead of on the left side above the command line. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Someone suggested on another thread that it can be a graphics card setting, but I can't find any options to solve the problem.

I recall reading something similar to this in another thread.
Have you tried doing the opposite (of the current) setting with regard to hardware acceleration. Any change?

I'll Have to play around with that today. I'm a little unfamiliar with it. Since making the computer switch, some autocad generated pdf text is displaying jagged as well. It doesn't print that way, but shows up that way in Adobe Reader. so perhaps this is all related.

Found it. And another one while i was at it. looks like it more than just a one off problem 🙂 ... not to determine the similarities...

Thanks for finding those. The first link seems to be more about the command line, not sure if it relates to my problem, possibly. The second link is the one I've seen before, but could never find any video card dialogue popup settings.

Hi @CabbagePalm,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

For the autocomplete issue, try undocking your command line and then re-docking it to see if that helps.

As far as the PDF issue, can you describe your plot process, and which driver and settings you are using to create the PDF?

I tried undocking the command line, but no luck. I create pdfs through publish using a pdf preset of 'dwg to pdf'. I'm not sure what pdf driver I'm using (or how to determine that).

Please provide us with:

(1) - A DWG file that contains this particular text that exhibits the problem. Use eTransmit if you are using non-standard fonts.

(2) - A PDF or screenshot of the PDF showing the "jagged" text.

Without these items, we are just guessing.

Hi @CabbagePalm,

You are welcome to attach a file that exhibits this issue if you and me to look at the condition.

As far as the PDF, it sound like you are creating using the DWG to PDF driver but you might want to look at the settings in the PC3 file and in the page setup that governs the output. Here is a post regarding PC3 files that might get you started.
