Ok so to recap;
- Happening with all files even a brand new file
- Unable to see new lines on drawn BUT are you able to see any work within a working drawing file?
- ONLY happening on your LAPTOP. PLEASE provide your system specs, which other releases you have/had of AUTOCAD on this operating system.
- If you suspect it is a graphics issue, have you verified your hardware meets the AutoCAD system requirements?
- any recent updates made to your graphics card? Have you applied them.
Troubleshooting steps you should try;
- Log on as a different windows user, does the issue still happen?
-
Uninstall/ Re-install Microsoft C++
-
Uninstall/ Re-install Microsoft .NET
-
Reset to settings to defaults
-
Apply all updates/service packs
If that still doesn't not help or work I would recommend a Selective start up and then a uninstall/reinstall .
Steps for a selective start-up
- On the keyboard, hold down the WINDOWS key and then hit R.
- In the Run window, type MSCONFIG and then click OK.
- Click on "Normal startup" if it is not selected already.
- Under the Services tab, at the bottom of the window put a check on "Hide All Microsoft Services" and then click "Disable All."
- Under the Services tab, put a check in front of the FLEXnet Licensing Service; there could be two and may include 64 in the name.
- Under the Startup tab, click "Disable All."
- Click OK and then click Restart when prompted.
Turn off antivirus or internet security software if it has re-enabled itself. If it still works good under a selective startup, then go back into MSCONFIG and turn on all the services and reboot. This will tell you if the issue is coming from a service or a startup item. Once you know that, you can then go through the list, turning on one or two at a time (make notes as you go along), using a process of elimination to find the conflicting item.
To put the computer back to a normal startup, open up MSCONFIG again and click "Normal startup" under the General tab. Click OK and then Restart.
