Random Elements Become Unselectable

Hi,

I have a question about the build you use. The last officialy released version of MicroStation is 08.11.09.459. The build 08.11.09.578 you mentioned was not released as an official build, but only as a prerequisite for a chosen applications (Descartes and civil products). Does it mean you use MicroStation with such application?

My another question is about your graphic card and driver. What card do you use and did you upgrade the driver recently?

With regards,

 Jan

We do have Geopak installed on some users' machines, but not all. Everyone would be using the same version of MS regardless though. I believe all of the graphics cards are the same (same model computers for everyone). NVIDIA Quadro K600 with driver version 9.18.13.3182. I went to NVIDIA's website and they have driver versions with a number like 265.70. Since I don't know much about this side of things, I'm lost. Should I use the 265.70 driver?

Thanks for the help.

The issue you are describing does actually sound like a graphics display issue which could be related to the version of driver being used. I would suggest having a read through the following Wiki which may assist with troubleshooting any problem you are encountering.

If you are a little confused with the versions of driver on your system this Wiki may assist but you might also like to contact the manufacturer or your company's IT professional.

The following Nvidia driver download page should provide you with a reasonably easy method of locating the correct, latest driver for your Quadro K600 graphics card. This should also show the extra information you require regarding the version numbers etc.

just a shot in the dark try going to user preferences and turn off antialiasing  for both tick boxes , restart and see if the same element same file give you same behaviour...

I used to get this with zoom in out object disappear  and reappear...  turned of antialiasing and doesn't happen any more with my graphics card...

might work got nothing to loose...especially if you  don't use that feature... you can always put it back they way it was if no effect...
