Greeking

[Guest]

Settings, Config, Dimension Settings, 'Greeking' check box.

 

What the heck does this do?

I don't see it, can you check your path again?

 

SP1?

It's there and nothing in help to explain it.

Definition: In page layout greeking is used to check layout and overall appearance without the distraction of the actual text. There are two types of greeking: 1) Unreadable characters that simulate actual text used to speed screen display of the page layout. 2) Nonsense text used as a placeholder for actual text.

I must have been 'Greeked' this morning. I've got about 9 dims I created this morning that are in dim-limbo-land!

 

I can't delete them, much less edit.

 

 

I had to write the file to V9, delete them there and re-read to X. Good thing I have time to play around today...

I’m back ‘playing’ in X and I programming real parts!!!

One big problem - I couldn’t get my drafting text to show up. So I did a search across this forum for my video card (nvidid Quadro FX 1000), updated the drivers per bullines’s recommendation and still nothing. Well, at least I have current drivers…

 

Man!

 

So I went back to the forum, found this posting and again looked at my configuration settings. I needed to be checked with ‘Display – any view’. Right next to the geeking box. That did the trick!

 

Has anyone else had this issue? Thought I was going crazy!

Kathy,

I have the same video card, but my Dimension Settings property page already has "any view" and "Greeking" checked. I am glad you solved your problem and that you are back in X!
