    Is this a video card issue?

          It could be something as simple as having the precision set too large and snap to on, so the endpoint sort of jumps away.

            is it an inference line or an axis line? has to be inference with that blue line being where it is. I'm with Box. check your units. make sure they are a nice scale to be working in. like 1/8" or 1/4" for furniture. Dave's our resident furniture builder though, he'd know better what units to use.

              I usually work with the precision to 1/64", after all, this is fine woodworking:). I tried changing it to 1/32 or 1/16, and I don't work with "snap" on. Didn't seem to make a difference either way. Something I didn't think to mention earlier, though perhaps it's related- occasionally when surfing the web, if I change web pages, part of the previous web page will briefly linger on the new web page until I scroll or move on that page. For example, if I'm doing a Google search, when I click on a link, part of the Google Search page (a few lines or a portion of the screen) will linger on the new page. Perhaps it's related?
              Any help is appreciated...

                When we said to check the units it was because it might have been set to something quite large. like 1 foot. those lower units won't make any difference. I'm not familiar with the GT 520. I use two GTX 470's I would suggest a larger video card if that one isn't 1 gig. But have never seen this issue. SO not sure it's a graphic issue.

                    I think we sorted the problem with the inferencing last night. It appears to be a case of an unresolvable inference. The line's direction is locked in the red direction and the cursor is placed on a face that would never intersect with the line no matter how long the line, not how big the face. This isn't a video card issue but as I told Michael last night, more like a divide-by-zero sort of thing.

                      I agree Dave, and thanks again. I only asked about the card specs to educate myself, and thought it might help with the other issue I was having; knowing right next to nothing is often problematic when dealing with computers!

                        No worries, Michael. I just thought we should answer the original question. Ignorance can be bliss but you're right when it comes to computers. 😉

                          Glad you got it figured out. Looks like you do have a 1 gig card.
                          here's our two cards compared. remember that I have two of them and that mine are like 4-5 years old and pretty outdated. if you have an extra $300 bucks laying around, a GTX 770 would be smokin fast.
