2D Wire Frame file suddenly blurry

Microstation is suddenly displaying strange behavior with elements. This only started Today, after opening a file the elements are blurred and only appear clearly when the mouse is passed over them left/right or down/up but will not stay clear when moved back. What's happening?

  • ok we still cant tell what wrong as your just showing  us what your view  looks  like, you need to upload a copy of the dgn  here so somebody can open it  independently and  then can eliminate if its a driver issue, or your mstn  program configs  or  just corrupt file..

    meanwhile before we can get back to you try some things: -

    control b and turn off  fill, that might eliminate a stray BG  fill with transparency...

    Change your BG colour to grey or even white ...

    Create a fence  that just covers your area ( use fence  inside not clip)  now  fence  file  command  ( FF= new file name when prompted).. then open the new file...

    its almost looks  like its a display depth but your file is 2d not 3d...did it come from acad  converted to dgn?

    Select everything  with a  inside not crossing  window ( top left to bottom right) and  use the bring to front..

    select everything look at the select tool and see  if there are or is region or shapes and deselect  that then do a bring to front...

    are there any refs attached, detach them...?

    open the level display and  turn every level off  now only turn on one at a  time and  turn off others as you go. ie  isolate level by  level.. 

    does it happen in all views.. try other views,?

    Create new drawing clean seed file, xref the bad  file does it view ok then select all the good visiable elements and  copy through, detach xref , does it work ok now...?

    do you have  overrides  on , turn off or disable in control B?

    do other users at your work have same issue with same  file?

    Try running compress with all the  functions ticked...

  • Seems like a video card issue. Very odd, but then Connect is defective software. Use it every day, seems amazing I do get my work done.

  • Sorry for the poor video

    That's why others have asked for a sample DGN file, to check whether it's a file problem or something else.  If your DGN file works OK with another person's MicroStation, then the cause of your problem lies elsewhere on your computer.

    if you look closely...

    If you want people's help, don't ignore their requests for better data.  A blurry recording could be caused by several problems.  We work with DGN files, not with blurry videos.

  • I've seen things like this in the past with MicroStation, but that was V8i SS2 era.

    Turns out it was a video driver issue. Did your computer get a recent Windows Update?

  • Yes, been trying to beat around this bush. Look here (Windows) for any recent change-

    Don't make fun of my ancient video card, have a new one sitting here, too lazy to open up the case, mostly cause I know I'll be vacuuming for an hour.
