Grip points

[Anonymous]

Hi

When i select grip points, if i zoom out i lose my selection. What causes this?

Example: 

If i got a square, and i select upper grip points (while holding shift) to make a rectangle, if i zoom to snap on other object my selection is gone. 

Thx in advance.

Oh its in autocad LT 2019

Hi,

can't reproduce that. So step by step:

• I draw a rectangle.
• I select the rectangle (click onto the object)
• I press <SHIFT> and click on both upper grips to make them "hot"/red
• I release <SHIFT>
• I take one of the red grips
• I zoom very close to new destination point of the grip I have on my mouse.
• I click to pick the new position

... following this description, what is different on your system?

Also please make sure, when starting command _ABOUT, that the products exact version information shows "2019.1.2", if it does not then please install the update.

Hi,

have you verified the version information if you need an update?

You might also try command _GRAPHICSCONFIG and disable the hardware acceleration to test this again.

zooming in too much also can make the Hot grip deselect.

Hi,

>> zooming in too much also can make the Hot grip deselect

Not on my system, what do I have to do to get that reproduced?

Do you have a drawing so I can see the points you select and the destination area I have to zoom to?

Its not that i have to move far, when i zoom out the grip selection is gone.

Same happens to me in video, only way faster. If i zoom its gone.

Hi,

Ahh ok, that I can reproduce, but this is different to the workflow I showed. Because after making the grips hot, I selected the one I need to have as base grip for the grip-action ... and then zooming does not do anything bad with your grips.

Yes its different from the workflow shown. But as told by @Anonymous  the hot grip is deselected when zoom in and zooming out as shown in screencast 🙂 and I don't know why it happens.

It is a different workflow.

But sometimes i have like 5 grippoints (or way more, and yes i know i can stretch command to 😉 ),  if one is out of my screen i cant select it because as soon as i zoom out its gone. Very frustrating.

Yes, but when I try to get that reproduced I had to zoom so close (or so far away) that I can't think about an object with such a big difference between the distances between the grips.

E.g. if I have a few grips that are placed at a distance of 3 or 5 and then one grip at a distance of 500000 ... then yes, then I can reproduce that ... but what type of object should that be?

Anyway, we can reproduce the issue, I don't know any variable that controls this (and I guess there does not exist one for that), disabling the hardware acceleration and/or high quality geometry might help (as it limits the zoom depth before regen is started), you might also try to disable REGENAUTO (which I would hate to with with that setting), but at least I guess that should not happen, so you can create a support ticket and ask Autodesk to repair that.

Suggestion:  Set viewres to yes and to 20,000.  I believe it has to do with the required regeneration once you zoom too far.  You could alternatively turn off regenauto.

The Diffrence is that i lose the grips after zooming out a small bit. (say a distance of a meter at most)

If i paste the drawing in a new dwg file, its fixed. So maybe thats the easiest solution for now 🙂

Thx all for the help !

The reason that the behavior varies by file is probably that the file you're pasting into has a higher viewres setting.  This setting is stored with each drawing.

HI

when you "zoom to snap on other point"

1-just click  on the vertex(grip),by clinking somewhere else in the object (rec) you will lose your selection.

2-during selection, don't rush  just click ,don't hold the scrollbar  (because shift and middle click "scrollbar"   will work  as  3d  view rotate) you will lose your selection.

good luck
