Are you sure you have the right pen set? In AC11, the pen set is also stored in the navigator view (is this the right translation for - in german - "Ausschnitt"?)

check your fill visibility settings in 'Model View Options'. it looks as though your 'cut' and 'cover' fills are set to 'solid' . . .

ah - then i misunderstood your question. are you saying that your entire screen goes black when you are navigating around? or just that all of your pens are black when normally they are in colour?

if the former, then i would guess that you do have a graphics card problem. if, on the other hand, your problem lies with the pens, you should know that AC11 now saves the penset with the view. if you navigate around your project using the 'View Map' you may be finding that your penset is changing based on your view settings...

I just saw this working on a project. In my case either going up or down a story makes all the elements black until AC does a refresh by itself (mostly a pan), manual rebuild doesn't work. I have been working on this project since last year and this is the first time I have seen this.

It happens with native AC11 files also, just grab an object -> command C (for copy), go up a story and it is black until you pan.

ah! gotcha. i seem to recall this happened way back in an early beta but i thought they had it nailed. for what it's worth, i have no trouble (ATI X1900). does it happen all the time you copy/paste, or is there some specific thing that causes it?

It is very weird. When Command+C and go down one floor it will turn black and it will stay black as long as you don't paste whatever you copied and then do a pan.

My G5's card is a Nvidia GeForce 6800 and this is the first time I see this.
