| Autotcad 2004, there's an item that appears, maybe a small box or line that disappears when I zoom in. I cannot select it. My layers are few and clean, I've exploded the entire drawing 10 times, there is nothing I can select in the drawing that it's a part of. I cannot get rid of it - I don't know what it is or where it originated. Anyone seen this before?? |

oh, I saved the dwg out as different filename, deleted everything in the dwg, purged, and they're still there! |

Maybe it's a geolocator. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Copy/paste everything in a new(clean) drawing and see of this helps. Maybe you can post a screenshot ? Regards Ron

No ghost when i zoom in and out mmm. i tried it in acad 2013 and 2018...... Perhaps it is a bug in your autocad. Did you try to copy paste your drawing into a New fresh drawing? Can you take a screenshot from that ghost object so we can see what it looks like?

 Don't know about a bug, but it may have to do with it being an antique version (2004) :) |

I doubt very much that the problem has do to with the fact that the drawing was done in AutoCAD 2004. I've opened drawings created with even earlier versions, like Release 9 (not to be confused with AutoCAD 2009), and haven't encountered any such similar mysterious objects. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured.
