Yeah, Im at a complete loss. No idea why this started happening. I guess I'll be looking for a new CAD program.

That would be a shame, but in the absence of more detail about your problem (for example, such as whether you're using layers), I can't personally offer much more and despite best efforts haven't been able to reproduce it. Perhaps some other DCUG member has seen this happen and could help.
Midnight Software Support will advise you, I'm sure, but they'll almost certainly need your .dc file.
Regards
John

Open up the sample file GEARS.dc, it has groups in it. If it doesn't work right either, you might have to reload DeltaCAD.
If GEARS.dc works alright you might try to copy each GROUP of your file to a new CAD file, the original file might have gotten corrupted.
Your computer could have memory or video issues.

It certainly would be a shame, I'm a huge fan of this program. But it seems to be affecting every file. Even when I opened the sample file like suggested. As for issues with my computer, Id be very upset if That were the case, it's barely a month old.

Ill be contacting them. Ive tried everything that I could think of. Im not very familiar with CAD other than what I've taught myself and after messing around with a few others that offered free trials, Im not a big fan of any of them. But I was able to open my files through TurboCAD with no issues so everything isn't a complete loss and the files don't seem to be corrupted.
I tried reinstalling DeltaCAD and there was no difference. Even in a new drawing once something is grouped its effected by this issue. Hopefully Midnight Software can offer some solution.
Appreciate the feedback.

Well, after trying everything I could think of and talking with Midnight Software, there doesn't seem to be a solution. I hope no one else runs into this problem because it pretty much makes the program useless.
