Selecting elements that are frozen (not visible) inside a Viewport

Selecting elements that are frozen (not visible) inside a Viewport

Anonymous

In AutoCAD 2014, inside a VIEWPORT, I have several frozen layers. But, sometimes, I select a "invisible" polyline or hatch that has his layer frozen inside the Viewport. And if selected, I can even interact and delete it.

 

And the weird thing is:

1) Sometimes, using REGEN fixes it (stops selecting the frozen layers).

2) I only "select" the frozen layers when I single click over it. Using the window selection does not select the frozen layers.

3) It does not happen in Model. Frozen layers in model does not get selected.

 

It's been very unpleasant, since I keep selecting "invisible frozen layers" whenever I try to do a window selection inside a Viewport.

 

Thanks

Most of the time, either in Model or Paper Space, my AutoCAD 2014 shows and regenerates the drawing order properly.

 

But sometimes, after the REGEN command, random lines and hatches are displayed in the wrong order (not all of them, and it ALWAYS shows correct in plot). If I keep drawing or switch back and forth between Model and Paper Space, the REGEN would eventually display the correct draw order.

 

Sometimes, inside a viewport, using REGEN shows the wrong draw order for some elements, and out of the viewport, repeating REGEN command fixes it.

 

It does not seems to be a problem with drawing order, since it just randomly start showing the wrong drawing order after a REGEN, and my plots are always correct despite that.

 

I even start to believe that it may be a hardware problem, since I already formated the PC multiple times, and tried multiple versions or AutoCAD (2012, 2013 and 2014).

 

Thanks

All the unusual behavior of your Autocad, you could reset it to default or reinstall it.

REGENALL command may fix it.
Turning off your hardware acceleration may fix it too.

Your old software and your video card are not playing well together: hunt for drivers (old ones if latest don't help) may do it.

Good luck.

Also, what operating system are you running?  If you're on Windows 10 that could be the issue.  AutoCAD 2014 is not supported on Windows 10.  And, as I tell my clients . . . "even though it may be working as of now, it's not a matter of if it will break, but rather when it will break."  All it takes is the right Windows update to start giving problems in the software.

First, thanks for merging my two topics into one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

As for my operating system, I was having this issue last year on Windows 7, so I switched to Windows 10 but didn't change anything.

 

REGENALL also does not help.

 

Disabling hardware acceleration slows down too much amid some commands like polyline. Still not sure if it solves the issue, but it's not usable due to the slow down.

 

I also reinstalled the operation system multiple times and tried differents drivers as well.

 

I'll consider get a newer AutoCAD version, or try to figure out if I got a malfuncioning RAM, GPU or something else.

 

Thanks for all the responses. I'll update the thread if I find the solution, in case someone is facing the same issues.
