hi

i am using archicad 10 at work for 2 years now
excelent software but now i have a rather stupid but important question:
at home im using archicad 12
when i use the mouse to mark some objects/line/ what ever in the work area using the arrow tool, in archicad 10 the squere used to disappear immidiatly. in version 12 there is a delay or animation of the squere (used to mark things) closing in.

this small delay makes me crazy. the thing is i could not find in the preferences nothing about this

plzplz help me its a small but important thing for me
thanks
attached an image that tries to show it but the prtscr option does "catch" it

again - this is the arrow tool and not the marquee tool!
thanks

Hi Zilberdik,

Go to Advanced Redraw Options page in the Work Environment and choose Simplified Model. Also turn of Antialias and see it it makes a difference.

What are you computer specifications - especially the RAM and video?

How much RAM does your video card have?
Have you installed the latest drivers?

This page shows the recommended video cards, although may not go as far back as AC10-12.

It certainly looks like a video card issue rather than an ArchiCAD one.
