chulse Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Ok am I crazy or has anyone else seen this too? I can't select it, it scales with the screen and does not print... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I've ran into the same situation myself with points, feature lines and grading. Is the point on a layer with other points? I found that by doing a quickselect of all layer items, I was able to delete the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It's a white hole (if you're using a black background). It's a black hole (if you're using a white background). That big atom smasher over in Europe is responsible. Let's kill all the scientists...let's kill 'em tonight. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men. :twisted: The Phantom knows!

ReMark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for the head slap chulse I needed that. Caffenine withdrawal. Is it just one drawing or every drawing? If it appears in more than one drawing does it show up in the exact same location? Could it be dead pixels that only show up when the background is completely black?

ReMark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm running vanilla 2009 so I just went and turned off all my layers, except Defpoints, and did not observe anything similar. I use a black background just like you. Once you go black you never go back. Oh, try this: change the background to white. Do you still observe anything onscreen? If so, is it black?

Ok, back to black and all is right with the world (at least on screen...don't get me started...) Still there. Only on some drawings and not others. Not always int he same place either.

ReMark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 OK...the fun is over. What the heck did you put out there? I zoomed the heck out of it and in so doing my cross hairs went all zooey and the object (UFO - Unidentified Freakin' Object) started twisting and turning and then it finally broke up and disappeared off the screen! Dude...this drawing is on acid! LSD! Something! Alright...fess up. What did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 OK. When the ucs is reoriented it looks like a cone with a line coming out of it. Sort of like an arrowhead. But I still can't select it. Defpoints layer maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulse Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Don't know? It has shown up on at least 2 dwgs that I inherited from clients (not the same one...) I didn't give it shrooms, honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 A reference guide like the UCS icon perhaps? I can't take much more of this without hitting the hard stuff. At least I'll have an excuse. Did you look at it from a different perspective too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I don't see it. I'm using '08 so maybe it's not displaying... All I see is a green pline on layer P-TPIT-TXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulse Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have not seen it in '08 either. It was in the green box... I will have to look at it in perspective - I have not yet...

eldon Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Drg TrueView said it was a Geo marker at Latitude 38.69, Longitude -77.14, Elevation 0.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulse Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Eldon - Could you select it?? What Layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 No, I couldn't select it for listing, but when I put the cross-hairs on it, a small box came up on the screen with the information. You can switch it off with the GEOMARKERVISIBILTY variable. I typed geo-marker into Google and came up with this info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
