Spline ghosts

[kstate92]

We've had an occasional odd phenomena happen for a few years now, but it only occurred to me today, they seem to be the grip-points of a splined polyline.  I had inserted (COPYBASE) a similar drawing for an overly comparison then deleted it.  What remains are the 'ghosts' of the polyline points in the rev clouds.  They aren't selectable, survive a regen, and a purge doesn't do anything.  Fortunately, they don't plot.  I'm wondering if it's the mix of version 2011, 2010, and 2014 AutoCAD we're running.  Anyone else seen this before?

Hi,

attache here the part which the problem occurred as CAD file please.

Hi,

when you turn off hardware acceleration (command _GRAPHICSCONFIG) do you see that ghosts again or not?

Ran that, changed from hardware to software then REGEN...

Fatal Error.

Hi,

>> Ran that, changed from hardware to software then REGEN...

>> Fatal Error.

Can you please show us a screenshot from that dialog, plus let us know when exactly AutoCAD crashed (when deactivating the checkbox or click on ok or ...?)

Please give us also some infos about version and service pack of your AutoCAD.

Now I can't seem to post a saved screenshot.  It crashed *after* I had finished changing to software and ran a regen on the drawing.  I didn't use the _graphics... as -graphics... popped up first.  I can't recall using the Manual Performance Tuning dialog before.

Hi,

>> ran a regen on the drawing

So command _REGEN crashes only with that specific drawing or also when you create a new drawing, create one line and run the command now...

If it is specific to one drawing maybe that drawing is defect. Run command _AUDIT in that drawing and lets see what the command reports.

I can't recall a crash from just a regen.  It was switching the acceleration that did it, I think.

It was a temporary check drawing; I'd just never seen the perfect matching up of the artifact with the source before today.

It was more idle curiosity if others had seen it, versus wasting anyone' time.  Doesn't really matter.  After today, not much matters anymore.
