When I try to move things on the drawing parts of the items I am trying to move disappear. How can I change that?

[solved] Not all entities shown while moving
From a QCAD user:
Re: Not all entities shown while moving
QCAD does not preview all entities for performance reasons.
You can adjust the maximum number of preview entities under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Display and Performance > Number of preview entities

Re: [solved] Not all entities shown while moving
Hello, in my case if increased "Number of preview entities" to 1000 but I can still see one only entity as I move a series of selected entities (roughly 20 objets seleced simultaneously) .
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

newyd_cnc,
To answer that better we would need an example drawing file.
(Also see above forum rules in red)
Presuming complex shapes as those are omitted on preview.
Or complex Blocks, Hatches, ...
Or 3D entities
Or ...

Re: [solved] Not all entities shown while moving
Thank you for our help, I am sorry for not posting a screenshot before.
The selction includes : 5 lines, 2 splines, 5 arcs and 2 circles. When I move the lot, only one of the splines is offered to preview. Number of preview entities is 1000. It would be much more helpful in my case to preview the whole object, as I am manually nesting shapes

Re: [solved] Not all entities shown while moving
This falls under 'Complex Shapes'.
QCAD figures out the complexity of the selection and when true the preview is limited.
One would then ask why that one spline and why not the Lines-Arcs-Circles ... The less complex drawing entities.
This has probably to do with the order of things ... The spline ID is probably the first in the selection array.
The order of a selection can be seemingly arbitrary.
I have seen ID arrays in different order from simply TA in the same drawing.
All depends if the array is used as is or ordered front to back or back to front after querying.
