ADAM'S_APPLE Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi Was operating just a moment ago in paper/layout space and suddenly my cross-hairs dissappeared everytime I moved the cursor over the main area.(Appears again if I move the cursor to the top of the screen over the menu bar). Does anyone know why this occurs and what I can do to rectify this defect? Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 First thing I'd do is quit out and shut down. Wait 20 seconds and reboot. Fire up the program and test. What happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I've had this occur a few times and it is usually a problem with the drawing file in my experience. If possible, copy the contents of the file into a new .dwg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You're using 2011, right? This problem used to happen to me in 2011 until I installed the updates and services packs. So if you haven't installed them, I suggest you do so: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/index?siteID=123112&id=2334435&linkID=9240618 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 What graphics card are you using? Is the driver up to date? As Cad64 suggested, make sure you have all AutoCAD 2011 updates and SPs. What software created the dwg file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAM'S_APPLE Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 @Re Mark : Yes I did that and the problem still occassionaly occured. Until I followed 'Cad64's' advice... @Cad64 I've replaced the supposedly corrupted files on the system with the updates you forwarded me. Seems to have rectified. However it does only occur now and again so can't be sure until I've used it more (not a major issue that affects work process but was just wondering why it happened) @ SLW210 : an ATI Raedon Premium Graphics Card! Win 7 64 bit. Seems to have been a problem with 2011 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
