Appearance of dynamically dragged or moved items 6

[laconjo]

Following a power outage,some of my setting reset.At this point I am not able to view anything done dynamically such as copying and line or block, moving entities or placing dimensions.
The entities only appear when the selected action is completed.
Can someone please tell me the setting which will allow for this valuable action to be reset? Thanks very much

Sounds more like a graphics card or driver problem. If resetting defaults in the Draftsight options doesn't work, try re-installing the graphics card driver.

If that doesn't work, test with a different card.

Thanks for quick response.
I re-installed DS and ran an update on the driver (w/help of IT guy here)
I thought being more specific about trouble might be helpful.
1. When selectting dimension and points, the placement of the dimension is not dynamic, nothing appears until final is selected.
2.When I draw a rectangle, the lines do not appear until size or placement has been specified.
3.I can not see a moved entity until final placement is chosen.

To put it non technically, nothing happens between point A and point B.

All other normal functions seem to be in order.

Thanks again.

NEW ISSUE: Cannot select multiple entities without a selection box...for example: I wish top move or copy several lines of an object, usually (autocad and previously in DS) I can right clisk select as many entities as needed....now each selection "toggles" , when next entity selection is made, only that entity is selected, the previous selection "toggles off"


Thanks for any advice here, obviously it is a setting i am unaware of.

Best, LCJ

Hold the Shift key down when selecting.

Ignore my previous post.

Just select the cursor icon shown highlighted. It should toggle between single and multiple arrow.

Sir CorBlimeyLimey,

I knight you for your extremely fast and helpful response.
Was exploring options, I suppose and forget to reset.

You got me out of a deadline jam.

Best,

LCJ
