drawing circles, splines and stuff in mechanical desktop 2004

drawing circles, splines and stuff in mechanical desktop 2004

(OP)
Hello

I am running MD2004 and when I want to draw a circle or an arc, ellipse, spline,... I can never see the shape change as I move the cursor during the command, like when I am drawing a spline on the view I cant see if its good what I am doing, kinde strange, even when I am copiing or moving an object I can never see the object that I'm moving or copiing, so it's a bit difficult like if I forget what I've used as basepoint.

Does anyone know the answer to that problem?

Hello,

Just type HIGHLIGHT at the command prompt and set the value to 1.

This should fix your problem.

Check the dragmode setting.  If it is off, set it to Auto.
