Object Outline Visibility

[LicensedToPEe]

When using comments such as rotate, move, copy, etc., after selecting an object, I used to be able to see the ouline of it as I moved the mouse in order to perform the above mentioned commands. For some reason, now when I do that, I don't see the outline (only a line connecting the base point to the desired final location) and it is quite cumbersome to keep repeating the command until desired position is reached. I can't seem to find the setting that controls that. Any help? By the way, I am not talking about raster images, I am talking about AutoCAD generated (drawn) objects. Thanks a lot.

Usual cause;

change DRAGMODE to Auto

I guess that's why you are the MVP (see left). I don't remember turning DRAGMODE off. Thanks for the quick solution. What's the difference between AUTO and ON?

Thanks, I owe many of my replies to having reference material handy. For example:

DRAGMODE
Type: Integer
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 2
Controls the display of objects being dragged.

0 Does not display an outline of the object as you drag it
1 Displays the outline of the object as you drag it only if you enter drag on the command line after selecting the object to drag
2 Auto; always displays an outline of the object as you drag it

I am trying to get just the out line of text on a drawing. I am using AutoCad 2007. I have tried the textfill set on 0 but that doesn't make it a line text in the drawing. Thanks
