I sometimes have a white box on my screen, that is not part of the drawing (ie not t text box), that references a file that is not open at the moment. It hovers over my layout and I have to pan in my drawing to see. It doesn't seem to happen in all drawings but the file it is referencing isn't associated with the same project so should have no reference to it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Would you show us the case please?

Is it pointing to an XREF that is not available?

In the XREF MANAGER , are any drawings not found?

I don't understand your question. Are you looking for a screen shot? It has gone away, as it sometimes does, but is sure to come back.

It is similar to the box that appears when you hover over the tabs of open drawings at the top. It shows that drawing's path and file name but that one disappears when you move your mouse away. For some reason, I sometimes get one in the middle of my screen that stays. When I begin to type a command, it goes, then comes back.

The latest file does not have any xrefs and the only xrefs are usually my border logos.

I am having the same issue.

The persistent path even shows up in front of other application windows.

When I try to open xref manager, it says '** EXTERNAL REFENCES command not allowed during reference editing **

I am not in any refedit command. I was editing a block in-place shortly before this happened though.

This happens to my co-worker fairly often.

Close and restart AutoCAD, does your problem go away?

Yes, it does. I'm wondering why it happens and what the difference would be between my workflow and my co-worker's. Or maybe it's a hardware difference, I don't know.

Try toggling your hardware acceleration.

Try turning off the Start screen.

STARTMODE 0

This fixed the problem for me!
