Hey All, Ok, so I've been using AutoCAD 2004 for ages without having this problem, but yesterday for some reason that escapes me it started. The problem is this: When moving, copying, mirroring or anything which involves viewing the objects you are modifying, they disappear. The original line/s stay solid, but you are also supposed to see the same objects moving across your screen when you move the crosshairs after selecting the basepoint, all this has gone, all I see is the original line/s and the crosshair but no dotted line/s representing the selected objects. This is really pissing me of, especially when drawing building elevations. If anyone can help me solve this problem or let me know if there is a system variable that I can use I will appreciate it greatly. I just don't get why this has started, I have changed nothing on my system for ages. Thanks Mark
