Dragging dimensions and sketched entities in 2005

Dragging dimensions and sketched entities in 2005

Dragging dimensions and sketched entities in 2005

(OP)
I just upgraded from 2004 to 2005SP0.1.  Now when I drag dimensions and sketched entities they don't move with my pointer.  They drop where I release the mouse button, but I need to see the motion in between.  Is there a setting I need to change?

RE: Dragging dimensions and sketched entities in 2005

I guess i don't follow your question because i just tried the same thing in both SW04 and SW05 and I don't see a problem with either. They both behave the same way.

With the text hides, but a box appears around where the text was when I drag it.

And I get dynamic preview of the line when I drag it.

I rebooted and the problem went away.  Ahhh software.

Check your Graphics card driver & make sure it's SW certified for SW2005.

& all the best.
