Question AutoCAD Question???

Ok, I'll try and explain as best I can. One of our CAD machines has decided to show polylines as a wire frame (rectangle) instead of its set thickness. anyone know the command to return it to normal?

Cheers
Dave

Nope, not the LWT button at the bottom of the screen. When drawing a polyline and giving it a width of say 5 you expect a thick line to be drawn. What is happing is its registering the width but only generating a rectangle. Another way to explain it is draw a pline with 0 width then pedit ,width and give the pline a width. What should appear is a wide line but in this case an outline is being shown similar to a rectangle in appearance. Another example is with text. It shows an outline of each letter instead of a solid filled text when zoomed in.

Go to:-
Tools, Options, then click the DISPLAY tab..
in the bottom-right of the dialogue box you need to check the settings for the SHOW TEXT BOUNDARY FRAME ONLY and APPLY SOLID FILL


Sorted
