ACADuser Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 In a plan, can't load it at this time, I insert a PDF & scale it. While selected it displays as faded & shaded grey. But when un-selected it remains grey. I have to close X7 & reopen for it to turn white. Is there a way to un-select so I don't have to shut X7 down? You can see the new walls I added but the PDF grey's out all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Don't you use the PDF only for tracing, then turn off when you print? If not then you must change the pdf to have a white background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 The PDF has a white background. I did find that if you draw a wall & then use UNDO that will reset the PDF from grey to white. Must be some sort of bug that leaves the PDF grey when you insert it & then scale it. If it never happen to you it may be something in my computer that is not playing well with CA.

DRAWZILLA Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I guess I still don't understand what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 OK Insert a PDF into a plan. Select it & it turns grey. Use the scale command. Un-select the PDF but it remains grey as if it was still selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Thanks I'll give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 In X8 the scale command does not show when I select it, only the resize command. For me I just grab a corner and drag it most of the time to resize it. But the background stays white for me all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Alan, There are a couple of things that have been mentioned for situations like that to bump the program. The one that I can remember is to hit undo and then redo but there are two or three other moves that do a similar thing that I have forgotten.

ACADuser Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks you sir, yes the UNDO does reset that grey condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
