Topic: Video Problem with one Drawing

[CAB]

Not sure what is going on with this DWG. Using ACAD2006
There are a lot of hatches & may be the cause.
When I pan & zoom in model space the display of model space gets corrupted, turns black (background color) and if I cursor over an object it becomes visible.
But then ACAD locks up & I have to kill the acad process.

I tried deleting the hatches but no luck.

Any ideas?  No other drawing so far are giving me trouble.

Thanks

No issues here. It's probably not the file.

Do you have hardware acceleration on?

what are your adaptive degradation settings?

[CAB]

Here is my dialog.

I had a very similar issue, along with multiple copies of the pointer crosshairs that wouldn't erase, etc. They upgraded my graphics card and it fixed it here.

---> googling "adaptive degradation" (My AutoCAD book went with my previous boss    and I haven't gotten a new one yet.)

No problems here either.

[mjfarrell]

no issues here....perhaps you should enable your hardware?

[CAB]

Thanks for testing.
My video driver is up to date although this card is not the best for ACAD

[CAB]

Won't use Hardware Acceleration.

[Rob...]

Uh oh, it may be time to upgrade that video card.

never liked AMD cards....NEVER

At home, I've never bought anything but AMD and NEVER had a problem.

All other drawings are fine (I hope) so there is something different about this one.

AUDIT?

AECOBJEXPLODE found and erased a lot.

[CAB]

Audit in ACAD2006 found no errors and that command is not in 2006. But all the viewports were originally on layer "Defpoints".
I recently moved them to a Hidden layer.

OK I saved back to R12 dxf & lost the layouts but no video problem.
Perhaps it is the dreaded Defpoints gremlin.
