Autocad 2007, Mac graphic glitch

Oct 30, 2006 4:08AM PST

Hi all, I am using iMac with OSX vs 10.4, windows XP running parallel. I was editing some drawing on AUTOCAD 2007 when I noticed that the display turned larger than it would fit nicely on the screen. The could still use my mouse to pan around even though it is on desktop. I switched back to MAc side, and the problem still persist. I rebooted the sstem and eveything is normal again. This happened to me many times and is getting annoying as I have to reboot the system everytime something like that happens.

thanx for the input, greatly appreciate it.

What was the screen resolution before

this happened and what resolution did it switch too?

Can you repeat this problem at will? If so, see if you can change the screen resolution as soon as it happens.

That happens to me...

even when I'm on a PC using Autocad. Therefore I wonder if it is the program and not the mac.

Did you try the venerable Z Enter A Enter command to redefine your screen? I usually find it resizes the screen when everything else fails.

Let us know what happens.
