_OVERKILL Tolerance reverts to comma, causes error message.

Since a few weeks my overkill interface gives an error. Somehow whenever I enter the command it lists the standard tolerance with a comma instead of with a point.

If I manually change it to a point, the command works as intended, but If I leave it as a comma I get an error message. (see screenshot)

The error keeps happening on my workstation with different .dwg's. It doesn't matter if I reset autocad, restart it or restart my workstation. The default window keeps resetting to a comma.OVERKILL.JPG

 

A similar issue happens in my options window. The default view apparently shows the display tab. But anything I try to do (like switching a tab) gives me an error message, It doesn't matter which value I give nor whether I enter a comma or a point, the error message keeps appearing and I can't do anything in the options window.

I only use the commands sporadically so I have no idea when the problems really started, but I did a complete update of all my drivers a few weeks ago. That is the only thing I can think of.

I'm using Autocad Map 3D 2017.

I'm using:

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
version 10.0.10586
NVIDIA Quadro K2000
version 22.21.13.8233

I'm using a few plugins, but the problem persists even if I unload them or start autocad with them unloaded.

Hi @Michiel.Valcke

 

You can try to go back to a previous restore point to those driver updates, so you can confirm that this is the problem or not, I point out here the steps:

I hope it will be useful,

Hi,

I'm sorry for the late reply.

I went back to a previous restore point on my PC, and I didn't have the problem anymore.

The reason this is not a solution for me is that when working with blocks (or a .dwg with blocks imbedded) my vertices are shown away from where they should be. (all vertices, not just the ones on the blocks)

With my updated drivers and GRAPHICSCONFIG on I can avoid this problem. (without graphicsconfig this problem also persists :/)

 So I undid the previous restore point and tinkered some more with what the cause could be.

I found out the initial problem manifests itself mainly when working with multiple different data sources (.shp / .sdf / etc...) connected (I'm using Autocad MAP 3D)

I could recreate the initial problem but this was followed by a huge system crash. After I restarted Autocad I was unable to reproduce the problem.

So at the moment everything looks and works fine, but I still believe there might be some hickups in my system. I tried a full re-install of Autocad earlier, but that didn't help me beforehand, and as long as no new issues arise I will just continue as is.

Thank you very much for your help.
