DOS Applications: 1. An updated ADI 4.2 driver is included in this release. ADI 4.2 version 1.9 consists of the following modifications: Bug fixes. Static Display List is no longer available for AutoCAD 11 and 12. 2. Please note that 3D Studio uses 256 color display modes for 3dEditor, Materials Menu, Keyframer, 2dLofter and 3dShaper screens. Higher resolutions are available for renderings. Known Limitations: ADI 4.2: 1. AutoCAD 11, 12 - With a combination of dual screen mode and shell edit, ACAD screen is corrupted. The problem occurs in all resolutions under AutoCAD 11, and only 640x480x8 in AutoCAD 12. Use the command "REINIT S" to correct the display (only in ACAD 12). 2. AutoCAD 11, 12 - After using the Birdseye, a non-transparent Aquila command may behave as a transparent command in the command stack. Pressing the space bar in this condition causes the command prior to the last one to appear. 3. AutoCAD 12 AVE - REPLAY IMAGE to a non-black screen will result in inaccurate colors in the replayed image. 4. AutoCAD 12 AVE - When configured for 256 colors and a 256-color drawing is saved and reloaded with AVE Preferences/Color Map set to Best Map/Fold, the display of drawing colors may appear to be limited to 8 colors. 5. AutoShade 2.1 - Dual monitor configuration is not supported. 6. AutoShade 2.1 - Changing Settings/Background to a non-black background color will not display the background color during renderings. This occurs for any resolution with more than 256-colors. 7. AutoCAD 12 AVE - Extra lines or rectangles may be displayed under full screen renderings with more than 256 colors. 8. AutoCAD 12 - Modelspace viewport boundary may partially disappear after entering AME authorization screen if Flip-screen is disabled. Workaround: Type Redrawall. 9. AutoCAD 11, 12 - With 1/2M boards and a display resolution of 640x480x256 colors, some pixel debris may appear on the right side of the screen after selecting from pulldown menus. Workaround: Flip to the textscreen and return to graphics screen. If Flip-screen is enabled, shell out to textscreen and return. 10. AutoCAD 12 AVE - Rendering to a viewport may corrupt the right edge of the active viewport's boundary line. Generic CAD: 1. Display of image placement cursor is incorrect when loading one drawing over another. VersaCAD 7.0: 1. With dual screen mode cursor trails may appear during Viewport command at 4-bit resolutions. 2. Zoom in/zoom out inaccuracies occur in selecting a displayed area. 3. The selected object does not flash on the screen for all resolutions. 4. The VersaCAD birds-eye command is not supported. 5. After an initial boot to Drafting or Modeling, vertical lines are displayed at the bottom of the first screen. Restarting with a warm boot will not reproduce the error. Word 5.0: 1. The Mouse Systems driver is not supported in this application.
