Short MTEXT entities cause sluggish performance with "thicken" selection preview

Polls

Within the context of its era, which version of AutoCAD was the BUGGIEST?

Friday, 23 June 2006

It appears that when PREVIEWEFFECT is set to a value which allows thickening (1 or 2) then short MTEXT entities observe this setting while larger MTEXT entities do not. Unfortunately, when moving the cursor over the entities that do observe the "Thicken" setting, performance noticeably hesitates.

Workarounds: Change PREVIEWEFFECT to 0
First Appeared: Land Desktop 2006
Status as of 2006 SP1: Still reproducible
Status as of 2007: (unknown - please email with any info)
Status as of 2008: (unknown - please email with any info)
Status as of 2009: (unknown - please email with any info)
