I saw the same problems when the option (I try to translate what I see in
the Italian version) Settings/View Attributes/Graphic Acceleration is
enabled. Depending on the resolution you work, I saw that with my Millennium
4MB the element disappear on zoom. If you disable the Graphic Acceleration
option, probaby you'll solve your problem. Now I have 8MB on my graphic
card, but the problem persists.

Hope to receive more detailed information from Bentley.........

Dann,

I have seen this problem with certain graphics adapters (Intergraph
TD) at certain resolutions. I have been able to resolve it by setting
the resolution to 1024x768. I didn't try 1280x1024, but that might
also work. The resolution that I saw problems with was in between.

Hi all,

did you download the latest windows drivers and bios for the TD2 from
the internet site of Intergraph (www.intergraph.com). They might help
already. Saw the same problem on a Tulip pc, where bios was outdated.

Re: Disappearing Elements

They are one of the five symptoms of file corruption. [The other four being 1)
files that won't translate properly to other formats, 2) files that don't plot
properly, 3) elements that rotate or disappear when you zoom in on them and 4)
elements that can't be selected.]

I can't say whether the video card problem is it or not, but if you still have
those problems you should inspect for and fix any file corruption. Of course, we
think the best, easiest and fastest way to do that is FileFixer by Axiom
International.
