    Cross section losing text, dims..

    My cross sections used to freeze up. Now the dims, text, and lines disappear until I close and reopen the view.
    Just did an update on my video card this morning and the new Chief update the other day..
    I can select things even when I can not see them...

    Check the layer with the missing info. Maybe the line color is white.

    I did check that.
    Closing and opening the view fixes it.

    My only other thought would be that you have 2 versions of the same cross section. Are you opening it up by double clicking on the layout or do you get to it from the project browser?

    I'm pretty sure it is a video card/ memory thing.

    I just changed my video card and cross sections are working great now.
    Had a Radeon card and switched it with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130585
    For a cheap card it works well with dual monitors..

    I tried it with 3 monitors, they all show up but only 2 worked at a time.
    Not sure if it supports 3 at once..
