(solved) Screen all black

Post by Navajo » Mon May 18, 2015 9:25 pm

Hi
I´m on 3.9.3 on a OSX Yosemite. Whenever I open a drawing the drawing area is all black. Can´t see my drawing at all. Only solution is to use select all ->copy -> paste to new drawing. Only then am I able to see the drawing again. This will happen again if I save the new drawing.

Any ideas anyone?

Best regards
Johan

Looks like there is a huge entity in the drawing file. If you attach the drawing file (DXF/DWG), I can probably help.

There were two huge circles in the file. Here's the fixed file.
