Ghost of Dragged object

Anonymous
Anonymous

In 5141 this works great. I can see the objects inside the selected cell as I move it. In 615 and 616 this seems to have gone away. There is a display setting for it but doesn't seem to do much. When I move and object in 615 it just disappears and I get an empty box. In 616 I get a box with the cell name in it. Is there a setting I am missing?

 Any one else seen this behavior?

 

Thanks!

  • Hi Rob,

    Did you turn on True Color Drag (the environment variable is trueColorDrag)? If so you might have too many objects to ghost?  There is a maxDragFig setting that has a default value of 500. There is also a "ghostOfDraggedObjects" variable that seems to be related.

    Check these layout environment variables to see if any help.

    regards,

    Lawrence.

    I did have True Color Drag on. Ends up that turning that off makes it behave like ic5141 which is what I really wanted. Tweaking those other settings you mentioned help as well. Thanks for the very prompt help, its much appreciated! Rob
