Entities appearance doesn't change when selected
I am demoing Bricscad 10.4.18 build 19351 on two computers, both are installed from the same downloaded file. I've done nothing to change the settings on either Bricscad, but on one, when I select an entity, it's solid lins turn dashed, while with the other computer, the entity's appearance doesn't change at all.
This characteristic would seem to be address by the setting: Settings - Settings - Program Options - Selection Preview Effect = Dashed and thickened lines. But changing this setting has no effect on the behavior of Bricscad on either computer.
I would like to be able to set both computers to change selected entities to dashed. Any help would be appreciated!

It sounds like you need to turn highlighting ON in one system. It should be on by default.
Just type HIGHLIGHT at the command prompt (or when you first enter the Settings dialog, and then the dialog's automatic search utility will find it for you).

Thank you for the reply!
On one computer, I typed "highlight" at the prompt as you suggested; Bricscad responded indicating highlight was on, so I didn't make any change. But after that, selected entities were highlighted.
On another computer, I had previously clicked "Settings - Settings - Program Options - Selection Preview Effect" and changed the settings without seeing any difference. When I restarted Bricscad on this computer (the next day), selected entities were also highlighted.
It seems that this could be a bug. I will submit a support request.

I noticed this too, I found that if my blocks text font was set to 'Arial' the highlight works fine, any simple font such as 'txt.shx' and the highlight does work but the changes when blocks etc, are selected are SO hard to see !!0
