Kbird1 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I thought this was a common Issue , which started with X13, but I was told yesterday T.S. is not aware of it , though I am certain others have mentioned it here on the Forums, so I thought I'd get a consensus here before reporting it, as at this point I don't believe it is my system or Videocard ( RTX 3080 ) Yesterday's report , was that it is happening on a 1080 and TS has suggested he get a new Videocard.... This is a link to a short Video I made today while Sending to Layout and Saving Elevation Views https://www.screencast.com/t/OR12Yci6 Mick.

rgardner Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Yup I get that on every trip to layout that I send. Have since beta test and did report and thought several others have as well. It doesn't take more than a couple seconds so hasn't been high on my list but yes it is an issue with my Mac system as well (both desktop and laptop.)

robdyck Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I get that flash with every elevation or section view update as well. I also need to click "save active view" 2x for it to work for all section / elevation views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanC Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I get the same black, disjointed elevations you show as they are sent to layout. I do not get the black "flash" you show when saving a view though. I reported my black, disjointed elevations to tech support yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the confirmations , I knew I wasn't the only one experiencing this , but thought they had been working on a fix since it started in Beta , so I had not reported it since we got the Full Release. I have not experienced any crashes with this issue , but when you spent a lot of time, sending a large project to Layout it is decidedly annoying..... and a waste of time... You did better than me Susan , I couldn't get a screengrab , so had to do the short video.... Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeGia Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Same here. Makes me think I'm back at a Town Hall Dance listening to In Aggada Da Vida. Not a bad thing but.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have it also but put it down to my old system, which is due for replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Ferioli Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I get the same thing here. I haven't had it cause me any real issues but "send to layout" does seem slower in X13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Nice Idea Doug but I think having that Video pop up every time I send to Layout my really slow down the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejmarsh Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Related Issue: Applying a white background image solves both from what I have found today It has something to do with the 'transparent' background. For many mac users the pdf export for view cameras with transparent backgrounds end up printing as 'black' when printed from pdf, even though you don't see the black background in the pdf itself. The white background seems to solve this - I also noticed that it stopped the black 'flicker' described here as well. Cheers Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPDesign Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I am also getting the black screen flash when sending a view to layout. or updating a view. Also if its a live view (update on demand) it doesn't like to update properly. The view got messed up( exploded into squares of the image) and would not repair. I had to open the camera and save it when I closed to get it to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 I have reported this issue to Tech. Support , and I would advise the readers of the Thread to do the same, so it is hopefully fixed in X13 and we don't have to wait for X14. Mick.

Doug_N Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Just to join in, yes, I am experiencing the black screen during copy to layout, and if I refresh the layout portal. Sometimes it lasts quite a while and the odd time the program will abend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
