Title: 09 rendering issue?
Post by: Barry Clark on April 20, 2009, 01:07:02 PM

Ok, maybe something changed.

Once was able to type RENDER at the command line and I could get a rendering of the object I created.

Now... nothing.

Any ideas?

Attached the drawing I am dealing with.

Thanks all!

Could you expand on "nothing" ?

Does the command execute?
Does the render window pop up?
Does it render, but only show solid black?

Command seems to execute. Window pops up. Just a solid black image pops up. Lighting is at default as i have always done it.

I'll check out the file now that I'm back in the office.  You may just be too far from 0,0,0 for Autocad to know how to think.

Strange, it always seemed to just render the view before. Thank you for looking into it.

I'm using 09.

I duplicated your problem.

Drew a line from 0,0,0 to a point on one of your objects and saw that it was a decent ways away.

Autocad is retarded sometimes, and this is one of those cases, imo.  Move your objects closer to 0,0,0 and try rendering again.
