sunsetguy Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hello.. I m using x1.. a long time user but returning after a long hiatus.... When in elevation view..using the mouse to point to specific places on the screen... the cross hair produces white lines that obliterates the view as it moves over the screen.. I have checked and rechecked settings.. cannot find anything out of the normal. Thanks much in advance for any suggestions... x1 build 11..5.4.17 HP pavilion desktop AMD Radeon HD 6530D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetguy Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Could something possibly be toggled "on" by mistake to cause this to happen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It is most likely a graphics card issue. Make sure that you have the latest driver for your Radeon card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetguy Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks much.. I did in fact update it several days ago.. I suspect that's the problem as well. thanks very much for your input, Sir.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Try turning off Hardware edge smoothing for that card. Worked in the past for older systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The only way I have successfully used X1 is within the operating system it was designed for: Windows XP x32 where it runs stably and reliably. In Windows 10 it will "run" but all kinds of unwanted behavior also occurs. I dual boot both XP and W10, XP is for Versions 7, 9.5, 10 and X1, Windows 10 I use for more modern versions.

sunsetguy Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks very much for the reply's Drawzilla and Mr Potter.. I will in fact try the "hardware edge " adjustment.. something i was unaware of.. I am running windows 7.. 64 bit...Yes I do plan to upgrade to windows 10 and also Chief..... at the moment for the most part the X1 is quite stable but there is the occasional flare up.. I appreciate the comments.. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 For me X1 was very Quirky, was glad to see X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 For me X1 was very Quirky, was glad to see X2 ditto, Cannot imagine using X1...... the version I started with...... was it me or was it the program? I have a feeling it was both that was causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetguy Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 thanks much for the replies.. Yes I quite agree x1 is indeed rather quirky.. I plan to be upgrading soon.. having been occupied elsewhere for several years.. I have checked the new version of v7.. I must say its very impressive. thanks again for your comments...

sunsetguy Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I downloaded the trial version of x 8..I knew it would be impressive and it is.. very.... Having the X1 version ...that I am still using.. there is no editing in elevation view due to white out of mouse movement such as shown in the picture in this post.. as before we all suspected graphics problems In x8.. no such problem.. none... using the same desktop.. same graphics card.. it all works wonderfully.. So..the question is this.. is there a process to tell if X1 is corrupted.. and needs to be re downloaded until I can upgrade?? Appreciate any comments.. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 You could just re-install X1 and see, it won't delete any of your files. You know there will not be any fixes to X1 ever again, maybe upgrade is the only fix. Chief has several ways to buy now, like payments, rent to own.

sunsetguy Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 thanks much Drawzilla for your comments.. .. I agree with you fully.. I was just trying to see if there was a procedure to run diagnostics before doing a re install.. and yes.. any help for X1 at this point from Chief is a lost cause for sure.. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
