 Topic: DRAWING TRACE.
Posted: 17.Sep.2009 at 22:30 |
HI,
I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY DRWGS., BEFORE WHEN I MOVED, ROTATE A DRWG. OR DIM, AUTOCAD ALAWAYS SHOWS A KIND OF TRACE OR SHADOW SHOWING ME WHERE THE DRAWING WILL BE LOCATED, AND NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THIS FEATURE ANYMORE WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHERE THE DRAWING WILL BE LOCATED IF FOR EXAMPLE I TRY TO ROTATE IT, COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A LITTLE PUSH TO GET THIS BACK.
TXS

at such problems.....I guess u had turned off by mistake the 'snap' or 'osnap' tab or both. Else the 'otrack' tab also could hv been switched off by mistake.....these buttons will be found at the lower middle portion of ur Auto CAD windows......click on those buttons and u will find ur tracking positions precisely......any probs again ask me

TXS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK, BUT THIS IS NO THE PROBLEM BASICALLY, BECAUSE THE OSNAP IS ON AND THE OTRACK IS ON AS WELL, THE THING IS EVERYTIME I MOVE OR ROTATE THE DRWG. OR DIM, IT WILL REFLECT LIKE A TRANSPARENCY INDICATING ME WHERE I'M GOING AT THE TIME I'M MOVING OR ROTATING WITHOUT DELETE THE ORIGINAL DRAWING OR DIMENSION, THAT IS VERY CONVENIENCE BECAUSE IF I CHANGE MY MIND TO LOCATE THE DRAWING IN A DIFFERENT SPOT, THIS FEATURE WILL WORK PERFECT FOR ME. REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT IN THIS LITTLE PROBLEM.

Sorry.....as I couldn't able to be on line for few days....okk yup...I hv under stood....I think the feature is known as...'Fast Silhouettes' and it has been turned off automatically as ur comp is unable to show such features (though I don't know ur comp config.) coz of graphic limitatins....if it permits the graphic req. then plz chk the following steps.....by the way in nxt reply can u tel me which version r u workin on? okk the steps are as followed......
1. In cad interface type 'Options'---press 'entr'
2. Select the 'Display' Tab.....
3. Go to the 'Display Performance' zone......
4. U will find an option.....'Draw Tue silhouettes for solids and surfaces' .......
5. Give a tick....
hope that will solve ur probs.....
if not.... 
plz...remind me again...no probs at all..........

Hi Ferna,
Try turning on Polar instead of Ortho.
Hope that helps,

Hi everybody.
I think your problem will be fixed if you set DRAGMODE 2. You can set it 0, 1 and 2, as seen on AutoCAD Help.
Hope it works. Please, keep me informed
