AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cursor Does Not Want To Leave Modelspace
Jun 18, 2013
I am encountering a problem using AutoCAD Civil 3d 2012. When finishing a certain command and going back to the ribbon, my cursor does not want to go out of the modelspace. So i can't click any command in the ribbon, or in any other program outside of AutoCAD.
Even when pressing escape to stop a command, nothing changes. Using the viewcube solves this problem for one time. But every time I draw a line or even zooming, the problem comes back again.

Whenever I'm in model or paper space, damn thing disappears.
Reboot is always an option, but it's the last thing I want to do at this point.

I am not seeing any writing or drawing when using brushes. The cursor moves around the page, but doesn't leave a mark.

I have a drawing with two viewports. One needs to show topography. The other does not. When I freeze the surface layer in the second viewport, the contour lables leave behind a dash. It's on layer 0 so I can't VP freeze without losing other things.
Where do these dashes come from? They aren't a visible part of the contour label. They only show up when the surface is on a frozen layer. The only purpose they serve is to show where a contour label would be if the surface wasn't frozen.

Some code / lsp that will cycle thru layouts and insert a rectangle into model space of where the viewports are actually looking.
I am trying to separate out a number of layouts to different drawings and want to speed up the process.

Is there an easy way to switch from a viewport in paperspace to modelspace and have the same layer state show up? I typically run with my paperspace set up with the layers showing how they will print (show lightweights and display plot styles) but I would like to be able to switch to model space and only see the layers that are showing in a particular viewport, to minimize manual layer isolation.
I am using C3D 2011.

Specs:
Autocad Civil 3D 2011 (64 bit)
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX-62 Dual Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (Graphics Card)
8 gigs of DDR2 ram
Dual monitors
Windows 7 64 bit
The cursor (crosshair / mouse) flickers constantly when I am moving the mouse around inside the autocad work space. If I draw a line the flickering gets even worse and it starts to lag slightly. The computer meets all of the recommended requirements as far as I am aware.
The CPU never goes above 45% usage and the RAM never goes past 21% usage. So the computer does not seem to be overloaded especially just trying to draw a line. All the drivers are up-to-date. Is it possible there is some sort of compatibility issue going on here or something I am overlooking?

Our cursors are pausing for about 2-3 seconds when mousinging over a point, it seems like it is struggling with the rollovertip tooltip information. It doesn't happen on other objects, just points. If we turn rollover tooltips off there is no pause at all. But we really like the rollover tooltips and it would be a shame to have to disable a feature to be able to move around a drawing efficiently.

I've seen this bug for several versions and it's still present even in 2014. After viewing a corridor section, doing an inquiry, then clicking the Close button to get back the corridor is not able to be selected. It's "invisible" to the cursor. The only way I've found to get back to normal is to zoom out a bit, do a regen all, then a save. That's the only way to get the cursor to select the corridor again short of restarting C3D.
I can't recall what version I first noticed it in, but I think it was 2011 or 2012.
EDIT: Forgot to say this doesn't happen every time. I can't pinpoint what changes between tries, though. Usually, once it happens and I do the previous steps I can select it for a while. Then the bug hits again and I have to do the steps again.

Is there any way of determining your cursor position in plan when you are working in a profile or visa versa? I also work in 12d and as you move your cursor on an alignment or profile you can exactly see the position of the cursor in both layouts/views.

When you hold your cursor over a surface it will display a window with different surface elevations if there is a surface where your cursor is located.Is there a way to make it display all of the different surface elevations rather than just 6, because I have a few more surfaces that wont display their elevation. Or is there a way to set the order in which they show up? I can get to see what I want to see if I isolate the selected surfaces but sometimes it takes awhile to load up the corridors, etc..

Since last week (4-19-2012) Our users have been expierencing cursor issues and freezes with Civil 3d 2012. Entering commands in the command line very slugish, pressing the shift key to select / de-select, trim, open osnap menu, ext.
We are running Win7pro6d bit quad core machines with 6gb ram, ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL), Intel Xeon ES640 (2.67 ghz). AutoCAD Civil 3D(SP2) and all hotfixes installed.
This problem just started one week ago and It started with the cursor jumping all over the place when crossing objects. However; we now have very sluggish command line entry, 2 - 3 seconds after typing till it shows up, and cursors freezing when pressing the shift key for any reason.

I'm running Autocad 2013 Civil 3d, when I open a particular drawing the cursor turns to a circular shape as if it is downloading something, but it is actually not loading anything. This circular cursor does not let you do anything with the drawing, you just have to keep hitting esc until it gives you a fatal error message that says "FATAL ERROR: Cannot write to undo file (probably disk full)" and it kicks you out of autcad. How to get rid of this ciruclar cursor?

I'm using a DXF drawing in my CNC program that uses all three axis. I've scaled the original drawing from 300" to about a 3"x5"". When when I save it as DXF, change it to gcode and run it in my CNC router, the Z depth is more than I want. I'd like to move Z closer to 0 without changing the XY. Can this be done?
I trained in R14 many many years ago so I probably already know my answer it's just tucked away behind too many other life experiences. Right now I'm using Autocad LT 2004 or 2006. I'm away from my CNC machine so I'm not really sure.

In dialog boxes the drop down menus appear blank until I drag the mouse over it then the contents appear as I drag the mouse across. Also the cursor doesn't echo back (flash). I have tried updating drivers to no avail.

Check out the two pics I have added. I did this from Solidworks. Sometimes when dimensioning you have a series of holes that are close together like the ones shown below. What I would like to do is to drag the jog so that the dimension line does not run thru the other hole and the text stays where you put it. I would like to be able to do this without exploding it or going thru some sort of hoops to make it happens. Is this possible in Autocad? I thought that in a earlier version of Autocad you were able to do it but I am not sure.

When I open ACAD A14, the workspace is displayed black (I had it set on white). When I zoom out, the screen is white again, but when I move the cursor, the crosshairs are displayed as a black square and leave a black trail, like for example Internet Explorer on the old Windows systems. I can use all functions normally, however my drawings are not properly displayed through the black. I had it running today already, without any problems, but my laptop was not connected to the internet, now it is. Things I tried: Reinstalling AutoCAD Restarting my PC Disconnecting my laptop from the internet and reopening AutoCAD A screenshot is attached. I am a first semester student and the plan is for a supporting structure of a hall that is due on friday, so its nothing that takes up a lot of computing power or anything.

Since I'm a little new to this CAD Stuff, I'm having a bit of trouble working out the text size for a viewport.
I've drawn something at a scale of 1:1 in ModelSpace (As per the senior designers instructions) and I've got it zoomed in at a scale of 1:250 in paperspace. According to the text size settings I've been given (they were in place before i joined the company), the text in modelspace should be set to 625; now, when i go into paperspace and print the drawing out, the text looks much too big.
What size should I have the text set to so it doesnt look so big in paperspace??

Now I'm going to write a code that will change current plot device of the drawing and there isn't a problem here:
acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(acPlSet, newPrinter, "A4");
But how can I leave default paper size not "A4"? For example if there is "A3" it should stay "A3". Because if I go through each drawing I don't know what is the current paper size I just need to change the plot device becuse default has been crashed for example. But if I write "A4" each drawing will have "A4".

I am trying to find the ploylines in my autocad modelspace. It does not matter what layer they are on, I just need to find all of them as to find their coordinates. I can find the coordinates of a recently created polyline with the vba help but now I'm stuck with just finding a polyline in the modelspace.

I am using AutoCAD LT 2004 and I have two separate xrefs and the orientation is different in each. How do I get each one to be similar in model space without having to to into the original files? Is there a way besides just rotating (RO) each file?

For some reason, I have 1 drawing that will let me select and modify some dimensions in a Paperspace viewport, but others are nonselectable. I can go to the Model Tab and select any dimensions I want.
If I select the dimension in Model Tab, I can go back to Paperspace Viewport and select that dimension, but now dimensions that were selectable before are nonselectable. unsure:
I am thinking it may be graphics card issue or some sort of limit.

is there a command that snaps your dimensioning to changes in model space. having a hard time with this, dimisioned in paper space but to many changes and found i wasn't changing the paper space dims and decided to move all dims to model space.

I received a drawing this morning, and it's paperspace looks great. However when I tried to view the drawings in modelspace it was empty. All the layers are on, when I click into the viewport (in paperspace) I can draw a line on the same layer as the block and that will show up in modelspace, yet no block.
Is this a feature of CAD, never experienced this before.
P.s. The blocks are available to insert in modelspace , however I'm just curious as to why I can not see the blocks that quite clearly exist in modelspace already.

performance differences between:
1) Using a selction filter to get the objectIDs of a particular type, then iterating them, or
2) Iterating all modelspace objects, checking ObjectID.ObjectClass.Name for the desired type.
