Hello *,
I am new to corelcad. In fact, I am looking at the trial to make my buying decision.
I have installed the trial of corelcad2013 and have opened a autocad lt file from autocad lt 2002 (I guess).
I see a black model page.
When I select all (ctrl+A) I see all elements selected.
Any way to get them visible?
Kind Regards
Karl-Heinz
Try setting your model background to white. It seems the drawing may have been made with dark colours that will be very difficult to see on a black background.
If the drawing objects do show up, but you prefer a black background after all, you may want to check if the colours are set to bylayer or not. If yes, then you could change the layer colours to something that will show up better on a black background. If the object colours are not set to bylayer you will have to analyze the drawing how to continue from there with changing the colours and how to change them.

Hi,
the general question in all forums is: what and how!
The what you gave me an answer to. Now I am looking to find the how.
By the way: I have tried already before to go to drawing options via right click in the model view.
There within "view" you can set some colours and I have choosen to set model background to white - but nothing happened. I stil see the black model screen.
Here's a screenshot of the Options dialog where you can specify the model background (and other application elements') color:
Options > System Options > Display > Element Colors...select "Model Background" and pick desired color
(in the German UI it's: Extras menu > Optionen... > Systemoptionen > Anzeige > Elementfarben > Modellhintergrund)
The background color changes once you click "Apply" in the dialog or when you exit the dialog by clicking OK.
Hallo Klaus,
das hatte ich ja schon probiert. Stand ja im Post drin.
Leider kein Erfolg bzw. keine Reaktion.
Außerdem: wenn ich "alles auswählen" mache wird ja auch alles schön auf dem Bildschirm angezeigt. Es ist allso alles da und es ist im Zoom auch richtig.
Hi to all,
meanwhile, I have a partial solution.
Background info: both windows systems are virtual machines based on virtualbox.
I have tried on win7 and win8
Result:
a) win7 with 3D-accelleration activated and virtualbox guest additions without (without) Direct3D-Support works.
b) win8 does not. Still trying.
