  1. Thanks, Michael, for the 2nd place to look. Your instructions took me to the screen that looks like Ed's and not just a different pick like Rob shows. I found the one Rob did, but wasn't sure if it was the right one.

     

    My "Simply and personalize Windows" - Show animations in Windows - is ON. I will turn it off and see if it makes any difference.

  2. Working on a plan now with the same problems. Line directions are reversed and I had to rework half of them to get it right. Did the same thing as the guys above suggested. Drew the problem lines outside the property line, reversed them, moved them back. This is when I miss the days the deed showed the survey data starting at a single point and moving around the perimeter. Even after correcting the line sections the survey wouldn't close properly; it missed by about 16" at the last 2-points.

    Lot less taxing on your GPU which would be my guess looking at that.

    Looking at his machine specs, that machine should fly thru CA. That AMD 6900 XT video card is AMD's current flagship model and ranks 3rd behind a RTX 3090 in one website I looked at. Pretty impressive and about 2/3 the cost of a 3090.

    My "locate objects" is properly set, but the program continues to dimension to different places.  Very confusing.

    Welcome to the world of "how come?" in CA. Sometimes CA just grabs something it chooses to dimension to. This has been noted several times in prior posts. Does that make you feel any better being a "club member?" :) I love CA, but it has some quirks at times.

  5. I've had this happen in Windows just recently. Like Dermot said, it seems to just get "stuck" and will not return to the normal pointer. Even trying to cancel out of what I was doing did not change it. Hitting Esc or the spacebar would not restore it to normal. Last time it happened, I chased it all over the screen trying to find what "it" was wanting to do! Never did. If I moved the cursor up into the menu areas, it would change to the normal arrow "pick" cursor. As soon as I moved down into the drawing area it would revert to the "resize window" symbol. I think I closed CA down and restarted. Don't know what caused it; hope it doesn't happen again. Just to add additional info, I do use multiple windows on 2-monitors as my normal workflow; that may have something to do with it.

    I was thinking more of the plan view representation that is not very good with most Molding Lines or Polylines.  Maybe you are not using that at all and relying on the railing wall Plan Display options ?

    That's what I usually do.

    That comment always seems to come up but what do you do about your construction documentation ?  Draw cad boxes where the p-solids would be ?

    Not sure I follow the question? They show fine in section and 3D. The mid-posts will have to be manual as you said.
