Draw Order not staying

cakewalk2 — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 15:05:04 GMT

When text is placed over a solid fill, and 'draw order' has put the text in front of the fill,

the text does not stay after closing and then opening the drawing again.

Please help.

thanks.

REGEN or REGENALL commands usually fix that, your video card needs a little manual help; assuming you don't need to select the solid-fill and send it to back first.

So can you guys fix this in AutoCad?

Regen doesn't work.

FWIW: We are all end users just like you, no one here is AutoCAD or writing code for the program.

PLOT and PUBLISH command "regen" all by themselves as part of the process before output and should auto-correct your video card not catching up.

Thanks. Changed the draw order again, went to another sheet, then back to the one I had sent the item to the back, and still the draw order is wrong. Did a regenall and it didn't change anything.

So how do I contact AutoCAD and get them to fix this? my drawings need to be accurate - and I can't be spending time trying to find every single instance on a huge page where this occurs every time I print out a set of drawings!!! (sorry - I know you aren't the one to complain to here).

THanks.

"Regen doesn't work."

Make sure you have the last (AutoCAD)-Update

2018.1.2 or 2019.1

Then try it again. If the problem still appears (after Regen),

post a simple example(dwg file wir two objects where you can not force your wanted draworder)

is this a new installation, or a sudden new problem, or a problem limited to one file?

What version of AutoCADLT are you using?
What is your Windows OS?
Can you post a screenshot of your GRAPHICSCONFIG command pop-up?

What is SORTENTS variable set to?

thank you - I will start a ticket.

AutoCAD LT Rel. 2019

Windows OS 8.1 64 bit

This was also happening in ACAD LT 2018. It happens in all drawings, also with our pdf engineer's stamp, etc.

But here is a screen shot of GRAPHICSCONFIG:

This also coincidentally shows an example, because underneath the white square to the left of "P100" is a key plan not showing up.

You didn't attach the file(s) y use etransmit.
Your Version is unknown (check command ABOUT)
Both things the support needs.
Please add both things in your support case, it helps.

And explain your goal for this sample, so we can check the data and try it on our systems.

Turn off hardware acceleration, does that help your low-end basic video card cope better with AutoCAD/LT when it comes to autoregen?

What is REGENMODE set to?
