skillsaw Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 After moving a few 3d objects to a new location I noticed that the UCS icon has color coordinated lines coming of of the xyz. What does it mean? Thanks in advance:unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 If you have your Visual Style set to anything other than 2D Wireframe, the UCS icon will display in color. The colors refer to each axis. Red = X, Green = Y and Blue = Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Ok, that's weird. Based on the conversation in this thread: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-2013-2014-2015/visual-error-lines-quot-streaking-quot-from-ucs-icon-and-2d/td-p/3901138, it may be a problem with your video card driver. Do you have the most up to date driver installed for your video card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillsaw Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 I checked out the link. Yep that is exactly what I have. I have the latest drivers for my video card..... It seems that it doesn't happen all the time just sporadically. If I restart Cad and open the file it seems to disappear. There must be a glitch somewhere that I can't find....I guess until someone figures it out I'll just have to live with it. Thanks for your concern.

nestly Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yeah, it's a conflict in the graphics display system. Toggling Hardware Acceleration should make the streaking disappear, but changing/updating graphics driver is a better long-term solution.

skillsaw Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ok.... just wanted to be sure that it wasn't something I did involuntarily. I'll check out the driver/card problem with Nvidia. Thanks for the replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 What card are you using? Nvidia has drivers and Autodesk has drivers for some cards, usually it works out better on AutoCAD to run the ones from Autodesk if available. Sometimes running the Nvidia latest may be better, or in some cases older drivers from Autodesk or Nvidia may be the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillsaw Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks for the headsup.....I have a GeForce GTX645 video card. I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed. I'll check with the desk and see if there is some driver that's compatible. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
