    drawing does not show up on screen.

    When drawing, it does not show up. I have looked at the screen settings, but can not seem to get the drawing to show. I am usine v9.

    Alt F1 = zoom extents of all visible entities ( max all )
    check to see if the drawing level is ticked to be displayed

    drawing color should be different to balckground color ( duh -it can happen )

    Is this a new install ?
    system settings can have an influence

    Thanks

    This is a new install. I can see my drawing at times, it is green and the background is black. I read about changing the screen settings in MasterCam at a differant web site but I do not know what I would need to change.

    Toggle the OpenGL setting.
    That should fix it.
