Selection Fencing Bug

contact — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 17:40:19 GMT

Today after the latest update to AutoCAD LT, it seems that when i try and select an item or multiple items using selection fencing, does not work. This only happens randomly, and only if the fence is quickly drawn. after a couple tries it will eventually grab the objects. If the selection fencing is done slowly it will work without any issues.

Any input would be appreciated. thank you!

you need to either really slow down, dramatically, or remove the update in Windows: this is a known problem with LT2019.1.1 update.

Hopefully there will be a patch for the update soon.

The attached hotfix zip file should fix this problem for AutoCAD LT. The attached readme gives more details and explains how to apply the hotfix.

You need to have the 2019.1.1 update installed before applying the hotfix.

The attached hotfix is for 64-bit. If anyone needs a 32-bit version, please let me know.

This issues as well as that of abnormal behavior with Dynamic Blocks after the 2019.1.1 update has been addressed by the hotfix attached to this post.

I've had this issue as well, is the only way to fix it, to apply the hotfix, or will a future update get rid of this too?

Hi @cperrydesign,

Yes, to correct this behavior you should apply the hotfix but if you would prefer to wait for the next Update which will incorporate it, then you can try to set your GRAPHICSCONFIG to Basic to see it that will help.
