Topic Title

I have an issue with lines disappearing when i identify it, or simply click on it to do a partial delete or cleanup.

Kan this issue be sorted out?

Welcome Gerrit!

Not sure what might be causing that issue, have you tried restarting Datacad? Does it happen in all your drawings or just one? If just one file, maybe try running a Repair on the file?

Thanks for responding, Josh. :
I have this problem with all my drawings.
I startup DataCAD every morning, and it has made no difference to the problem I am experiencing.
I have been using DataCAD since version 5 and never experienced this problem.

Eugene Barnard first reported this. Unfortunately, we have not been able to reproduce the behavior and determine the cause. Eugene was able to restore the entity highlight by changing the default values in the [Highlight] section of DCADWIN.ini.

The defaults are...

Code: Select all[Highlight]
Color=8
Pen Style=3
Spacing=8.0
Width=1

Exit DataCAD, then change Width to a value of 2 or higher. Save the changes to DCADWIN.ini, then run DataCAD.

Just mentioning this in case it is a symptom of the same problem... I have been testing a macro that highlights and then unhighlights entities. Potentially several such operations are performed (as well as some entities being changed) between UndoStartTransaction and UndoEndTransaction calls. When I Ctrl/Z all the changes made by the macro are undone correctly but some entities disappear from the screen - I need to press 'U' to update the screen to get them back (refresh from Display List does not restore them).

Strike that ... my issue had nothing to do with the entities being highlighted ...
