file location in middle of screen??

tsdrafting — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 19:43:44 GMT

I searched around on screen refresh, but could not find the answer to the problem I am having.

On the attached image - there is a line of my file location that is in the middle of my Autocad screen. This has been going on since I installed AutoCad 2016 - and I usually ignore it - but it is getting to be a pain.

By ignoring it - I mean I minimize my current drawing, than maximize it again. If I have more than one drawing open - well... use your imagination. I have no idea why it is doing this. I have 2 - 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 video cards - both updated to the latest drivers. I got a powerful computer, fast hard drive..... so why is it doing this?

Anyone out there have any insight?

Your video screen is not able to keep up with AutoCAD: simply click on the START tab at the top left, watch that label disappear, then click back on the file tab you where in.

When in the START tab, avoid hovering over a file in the list to avoid getting that pop-up to avoid having this problem next time.

Or turn off the START tab.

You can also toggle on/off you hardware acceleration to see if that helps. Type in GRAPHICSCONFIG at the command line and hit Enter. It's in the dialog box.
