Coordinates causing screen shift?

bvanallen — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:26:13 GMT

Does anyone know why my coordinates display would be causing my screen to shift up and down randomly? More importantly, how do I stop it from happening?

Sometimes my coordinates dispaly at the bottom of the screen will be longer with a bunch of extra spaces before the numbers, sometimes it won't. When the extra space pops up this also causes a gap to pop up between the lower bar and the command line. This extra line gap causes my command line to shift upwards which also regens my screen- causing it to flash.

Moving the cursor around ramdonly will somtimes eliminate this gap, which then shifts everything back and flashes my screen again. Move it around some more, and the gap reappears and flashes my screen again. This can happen every few seconds, and is extremely annoying! How do I make it stop this behaviour?

FYI, I also tested out creating a bunch of extra paper layout tabs. When the gap is there, the layouts all display. When the gap is not there, I get a pulldown arrow to select the hidden tabs. The number of paper space tabs does not seem to matter.

Short Coordinates- No line gap

Long Coordinates- With line gap

Hi!

Could you please re-post the screen shots?

Under the current resolution it is not possible to recognize the images.

Kind regards,

Sorry for the delay, attached are closer up views with the same annoying as H**L screen shift still going on. I'm not really in a hurry to fix this though as I had reverted back to 2015. Won't use 2016 until this gets fixed!

Thanks! For some reason that thread didn't come up when I did a search for this problem before. At least there is a work around for it now. Very odd a bug this big and obvious would go unpatched for 2 service pack updates though. Bugs like this are exactly why I now always wait for the service packs before upgrading, but it seems someone fell asleep at the wheel with this one.

Thanks Autodesk.

Any way you could summarize the solutions?

Near the bottom of your screen, right-click on any of the paper space tabs. Choose dock above the status bar. This will force the paper tabs up one row and not inline with the coordinates. You loose a little bit of your working screen, but now the coordinate numbers can get long/short without affecting or shifting the list of your paper space tabs.

If the dock function is greyed out while the paper space tabs are raised, you may need to draw a line leading down towards them. I found that the strange grey block only popped up when I wasn't overtop of a line or object and I couldn't access the dock function while it was around.

You can use the option while statusbar is not above layout tabs.

Not for LT, but for AutoCAD, command Statusbarautowrap
