The square momentarily disappears when you are in a command that asks you to select points. It tells you that you can select objects, even while the command prompt appears at the bottom of the screen and no command is currently active. This square is actually a pick box superimposed on the cursor. You have seen that when AutoCAD is waiting for a command, it displays the cross hair cursor with the small square. The next set of exercises shows you how to use the Noun/Verb method in AutoCAD. This method requires you to select objects before you issue a command to edit them. If I restore the window (make it smaller than maximised) then everything redraws.Nearly all graphics programs today have tacitly acknowledged the Noun/Verb method for selecting objects.

If I undock one of the toolbars, and redock it, the functionality of all these things come back again, and the menu items will redraw if I hover above them.

Keystrokes are registered properly only mouseclicks are not. The handle is drawn but does not pick up mouseclicks instead, the mouseclicks “fall through” the window to whatever that is behind it. This section usually appears a little above the entry box for the command prompt, but sometimes includes the area of the command prompt completely.Įverything is unresponsive above this area: the Menu bar (File, Edit, View…), and even the handle itself (minimize, maximize and close buttons included). Here’s the issue: whenever I maximise the window, either by dragging the handle to the top of the screen, or by using the button, a certain section at the top of the screen doesn’t recognise Rhino’s existence. I’ve just setup recently on a new computer running on Windows 10 Rhino5.
