aiannetta Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 hey! i have attached 2 photos as i have no idea how to properly explain this! picture 3D is how it should look, but once i hide it to get solid lines 3d hidden happens and the pieces disapear. i have tried to bring the objects to the front and it does not work. i have had this problem more than once and can usually get away with it by moving the objects that are hiding a little bit any way and usually they will show but its not working this time and i would like to know how to properly fix this for future issues! thank you!

ReMark Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Any chance this could be graphics card related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 What do you have for a graphics card in your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiannetta Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 i wasnt sure how to get the information, after some research i have found this: Nvidia geforce GT 230M. is that what your asking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'm guessing you are running a laptop. How much RAM do you have? What else is running on your computer at the moment besides the OS, AutoCAD and your browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiannetta Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 yes a laptop, i have 4 GB of ram (available physcial memory is 1.06 gb). Open i have outlook, my works operating system (microsoft access) and windows media player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Your onboard graphics chip ranks near the bottom of all performance charts. There might be too much demand on it. Shut down Outlook, MS Works and your Windows Media Player and see if it makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiannetta Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 i restarted my computer and only opened Autocad, it didnt make a difference still has the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 And it happens only in 3D drawings right? Is hardware acceleration enabled or disabled? Can you post a copy of your DWG file so someone here can take a look at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiannetta Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 yes only when doing 3D's. its not letting me attached the DWG file, it says error:? ive never heard of hardware acceleration? is that for Autocad or the computer itself?

aiannetta Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 says the file is too large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You've never run the 3DCONFIG command? How big is the drawing file? Have you tried zipping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 This happens frequently with 3D Hide. Have you tried the regular HIDE command? Try it first, if it is still a problem then you can change your HIDEPRECISION system variable setting at the commandline, as shown in the image.
