SHCanada2 Posted Thursday at 02:30 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:30 AM seems to happen on residential template as well. only happens in section views. plan views are fine. auto build framing is off Anyone else seen this? its pianfull when trying to move something to a specific spot, because you have top move the mouse and then wait for CA to catch up Its been happening for awhile.

I did a complete shut down and rebooted my Mac and it seemed to clear up the glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted Thursday at 03:25 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:25 AM I'm not seeing this problem. What rendering mode are you using? What LayerSet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What LayerSet? i just drew 4 walls on the stock residential template, then a back clipped cross section, so the stock layerset assocaited with that. But I did try before that, on my own plan switching to the all layers off layerset, so nothing was showing, and it was still happening. But the plan view is always fine 13 hours ago, ValleyGuy said: I did a complete shut down and rebooted my Mac and it seemed to clear up the glitch. how often are you rebooting? I get windows crashes on a regular basis when I have PBR opened (never used to before say 5 months ago), so for this reason the computer is getting rebooted on a fairly regular basis. but I will try and do a clean reboot to see if it changes anything Edited Thursday at 03:44 PM by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use PBR, ...well I do click on it once every year or so - I'm not sure if I hit the button the day that I had the lag issue or not. The only computer crashes I have are if I leave CA open (no plan or layout open) too long without using the program. Example: if I close down the plan but don't exit the program overnight, then in the morning I will see where my computer rebooted itself with a 'Kernel Panicked' reboot report. But no crashes while I'm using the program. On a separate note, I just had an error the other day to which I followed CA protocol and sent in a bunch of information. It too was on a cross section elevation; just updating a view port on the layout. CA Helpdesk couldn't find or replicate any issues and I haven't had any issues since. Both the lag issue and the error code seem to be one-offs. I only loaded up X17 a couple of months ago but have had two strange things happen as well as a few Kernel reboots.

Joe_Carrick Posted Thursday at 06:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:17 PM Evidently this only happens on a Mac - and then only under certain conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefTylerL Posted Thursday at 10:03 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:03 PM Does changing your Synchronize with Cursor Preference change this behavior at all for you? This setting can be found by going to Edit> Preferences and going to the Edit panel on the left side. Here you will find a setting for Synchronize with Cursor. If this doesn't make any kind of change I would try a different mouse, if you have one on hand. If you're still experiencing the problem I would recommend contacting Technical Support through the Technical Support Center: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00717/using-the-technical-support-center.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now when I move the mouse there is a delay in the mouse pointer moving (which is now tied to the crosshairs) I tried 3 different mice, same problem. Not to mention the problem does not occur in plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it has anything connected to your mouse delay, but it is only happening in x-section - not in plan view.
