    First, make sure your installation has the latest service pack when graphics problems happen.

    Your symbols *should* be cached in your schematic DSN.   

    This isn't 17.2, so I'd look at your settings.

    Does this happen with all schematics or just this one on other machines? 

    Worst case, try deleting your Capture.ini config file (after making a copy of it) to see if an option was accidentally set.

    To reset your color preferences on a machine that does this, at the Design Manager tab, click Options> Preferences> Use Defaults> (down at the bottom)

    Well, if it's just one page out of three, the problem isn't global settings that I was trying to address.

    Sorry about that.  But, it's weird that it isn't happening across all machines.

    But, you might get lucky and it goes away with a new Capture.ini file.
