New to the forum but have been using SW/Draftsight for about 3 yerars. I installed Draftsight on one of my towers and can't see my drawing. If I "select all" in the command line, it highlights the geometry but it all disappears once I release it. I've had this problem once before but can't remember how I fixed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope. Thats not it. The command line is fine. Typing "select" & the "all" is the only way I get anything to show up. I can also put a box around the window and things will highlight in the dashed line font but it all disappears as soon as I release it. I had this problem once before but cant remember how I fixe it. It's like the layers are hidden.
 
Are all your lines the same color? And is it the same color as the background? Don't laugh. I've seen it happen.
 
Don't see my last post so here's a repeat. @Jboggs - had that happen once upon a time. I checked that first just in case as I do that kind of stuff to myself frequently. You have to be able to laugh at yourself and sometimes the simple stuff bears repeating[2thumbsup]. This PC was just rebuilt (software) a few weeksa go but decided tcheck the driver any way. Seems that was the problem and it's working fine now. Thanks so much for the help guys![2thumbsup]
