Entities not deleting in X4

[specv]

When I delete and entity it stays on the screen, its intermittent. if i turn off that level and turn it back on again some of the entities stay and others go away. I can't select them, and it even happens with trimming.

I've seen the exact same thing, drives me nuts. Don't know why and as you said, it's intermittent.

 

As much as I like to be the progressive - dig into the new version and stay current - person here. The hiccups in X4 are starting to even get to me. Almost seems as though it wasn't quite ready for prime time...

Sounds like a graphics card issue. Did you have to make any changes to your X3 Config to clean up this sort of thing when that was 1st installed?

As a test, after doing a delete, immedidately do a 'repaint'. Are they gone now?

[Storkman]

regenerate the display list under the screen drop down menu

[specv]

repaint does not work, neither does regenerate.

I have never had to adjust graphics card settings on X3 either. When I close MC and open it again it erases them.

Sound Video related...

I had to change my hardware accelerator from x3 to x4... never had an issue before then

[specv]

where do you change that?

I have found this a few time here to.

I am running XP 64 bit and a Quadro 4800 card.

on this box and the other box XP 32 bit and a quadro 1700.

I just saw this today. Didn't see it in the beta either.

 

A restart of MC fixed it for me.

 

It's damn hot here. Could that affect the puter?

[cadcam]

Ok I'll bite, HOW HOT IS IT?

 

and were is Acton? I know of a Acton about 20 min from me but I figure your not in Cali.

I HAve also seen this and I believe it is a database issue. If you check screen stats those items they won't delete are missing from the list. Say you have four solids on the screen and window delete them, lets say one of the 4 does not highlight. If you check screen stats there will only be 3 solids. I have reported a couple of funny things to CNC about X4 after careful evaluation they directed me to check with my IT department. For big brother software or some intrusive software that may be robbing resources. Corporate IT prop heads told me we have no such software here. However after complaining about this my machine screams. NO problems anymore. They swear they did nothing but I can't believe this is a miracle.

[3R!< W3NG3R]

It was 36 C in the shop and even hotter in the office. The puters were getting warm. I could feel it just by putting my hand near them.

 

prolly just a coincidence, but I had little problems through the beta cycle, and now have had lots in the last two days.

I have seen this multiple times, never had in issue in X3. Only way to fix is to save file, close and reopen MasterCam.
