Hi, I get really frustrated with the new functionality in V12.  This is it . I draw a simple closed polyline and then I want to change its color. Everytime I pick it I get dmrevolve command. I DONT WANT IT. If I pick properties first there i no way to only pick the polyline. If its open no problems. I cant even unclose it as it is impossibel to pick without getting dmrevolve.

PLS help me out.  Patrik

PS I notice now that I can use crossing window but I get a load of unwanted items as well.

    It sounds like the new Quad thing is getting in your way? If that is the case, set QUADDISPLAY off (0). You can use the the settings dialog and type quad in the search box.

    Hope it helps...

    The easiest way to toggle the Quad cursor menu on/off is the F12 function key or the Quad field in the status bar.
    Please read the topic 'The Quad Cursor Menu' in the Bricscad Help under User Guide / Drawing Accurately for more information about the Quad.

    the easyest way (F12) you have to do always you starting the program.
    its realy annoying, not at all helpful and slow.

    maybe the quad thing could be something if it would be possible to place it somewhere.
    but like it is now, its always in front of something you want to handle.
    and second: because its not open always first mous in the middle, second chose out of the options

    or better: switch it of (hopefully now forever) and use the keyboard and aliases.

    If switched off, the Quad does not come up the next time you start Bricscad. No need to switch it off each time you start Bricscad. You can also hide the Quad  related fields in the status bar:  click ths small down arrow at the right hand side of the status bar an uncheck the Quad and Subentity Selection fields

    ? im quite new with bricscad but quite satisfied apart from some little things so i thing im going to buy it.

    but the quadtrojan came always back to me, i switched it off several times last days.

    the most annoying thing is, that it got its own "prewiew" mode. i usualy switch every preview selection of because of its getting too slow in bigger models. it might be helpful for some little lines but its not helpful for bigger surfaces (all the monitor is blinking you cant see a thing anymore PLUS the quadthing is appearing, opening and closing by its own will exactly there where you want to draw something).

    maybe i would use the quadthing it in a way, that i would put it somewhere and in case its possible to disable the mouseover functionality (having it open all the time). This mousover whiping opening and closing shit is so slow to use, only a newby can be happy with something like this.

    i switched everything of this functionality in options menu as well now, i think now it will work, otherwise i will ask again...

    Thx,
    Jo

    In addition to my previous post: please notice that the 3DContext command switches the Quad display on, while the 2DContext command switches it off automatically. Tool buttons for these commands sit at the right hand side of the View toolbar.
