    Can't see objects in the working area in MasterCam x5

    Hello. I am enrolled in a MasterCam x5 class. I just started to work in the program and i can't get anything to display in the working area. For example, when I click on the rectangle function and click in the working area, nothing displays. But then when i click on the Fit to Screen button, the rectangle that i just drew displays. I have Windows 7 so i don't know if this causing the issue. Can anyone please help me? My instructor does not know how to fix this problem.

    Under System Configuration - Screen - Grid Settings, is Visible Grid enabled and what size? This may be a graphics card issue and not a MasterCAM issue.
