Dots Instead Lines When LWDisplay Open

[ugur_salur]

Hi all,
I draw a line with Line, Polyline, Rectangle, any command. I turn on the Lineweight display property. But as the lineweight gets thicker, the line is replaced by the start and end point. How can i see my thick lines? Thank you.

@ugur_salur Have you installed the 2022.1.3 / 2023.1.4 / 2024.1.2 Update yet? You never mention which year version you are using so I am listing the three newest.

ABOUT command will confirm what you have installed. If not, get it from your Autodesk Account Page here https://manage.autodesk.com/cep/#products-services/updates
Restart your PC afterwards.

If that did not help... Set GFXDX12 variable to 0 (that's a zero) then restart AutoCAD/LT20xx: reverting to DirectX11 fixes similar problems for most users.

Also consider turning off LINESMOOTHING and LINEFADING variables

If still no relief then start GRAPHICSCONFIG command and change the 2D Display Settings pulldown from "advanced mode" to one of the other choices.

Had a user install AutoCAD 2023 and experienced this issue for existing drawings on their machine.  Tried this and it fixed the issue.  Thanks!
