I've been playing around w/ 3D in autoCAD2002 in my spare time. Then I finally got some real work in, and noticed a change. I work as a detailer in the structural field which has nothin' to do w/ 3D, so when I got back to my 2D world I noticed something missing.

When I used dimlin, copy, mirror, or move etc., I used to see a silouette or hidden object of whatever I was moving or dimensioning moving with my crosshairs untill I picked the spot to place it. Well, apparently I've screwed that all up. I have no idea what I did, but I did something. I can no longer see anything moving with my crosshairs untill I pick the finall location.

Although I can go on w/o it, detailing would be a lot better w/ it. If someone could help me out, I would be greatly appreiciated.

Thank you.......

Change the "dragmode" variable to auto.

It's well worth looking in the SYSVARIABLEs in the help file coz they can change a lot of stuff, SURFTAB1 and 2 is a good one.

Thanx for the additional tip Nick. I just checked that out, and it looks like somthing I should stay far away from. Lots of stuff in their for me to mess up. Although, I may have some fun CAREFULLY playing around during some down time.

Thanks again........
