Crosshair/aperture |
|
|
When I open a new drawing, my aperture-box isn't a square, but a rectangle.
I checked some variables, but it doesn't change. When I open a different
drawing (from another template) it is OK, the aperture is square. Change
with ALT-TAB, back to rectangle... What is wrong? It seems to be a problem
in the template drawing, but for me it is a mistery....

Are you circles elliptical?
If you draw a square on screen, is it distorted?
What display resolution are you running?
This was also posted as a solution in the 2002 deiscussion group:
This is an Operating System setting --> Control Panel --> Display -->
Appearence --> Item --> Active Window Border --> change size.

Circles are circulair, no distroted squares. Everything (all entities)
normal. It's just the aperture-box and the grips too.
I tried it on a workstation with Win98SE and WinXPpro, both AutoCAD 2000.
Changing the windows-settings doesn't change anything.

I started noticing the rectangular aperture with 2000i. It may have to do
with the slight change in how Acad displays things. It still happens in
ADT2004.
It's weird because having just the aperture in the crosshairs with no
command and it's rectangular, but start a command, like LINE, and activate
an osnap, like ENDPOINT, and it's square. Finish the command, and it's back
to rectangle.
I use a 4:3 ratio resolution so the aperture shape has nothing to do with
the screen resolution.
It also doesn't always look like that. Some days, or periods during the
day, the aperture looks square. There seems to be no pattern.
