Back in the day, I wrote a post about how to copy information from Prospector to Excel called If It Quacks Like a Duck, and a follow up post with some ideas about how to exploit this technique.
Here is something so simple that I just discovered tonight while double checking some documentation I wrote recently.

Willy Campbell** hit me with a question a few weeks ago that I could not answer. He was rendering a scene… It might work once or maybe even twice, but then the render preview box would just keep coming up blank. This is the -render command or the “green teapot”. Real-time visual style application was working just fine.
Mike Appolo over at Autodesk was kind enough to help us figure out what the problem was, and was also nice enough to allow me to share the solution. Thanks, Mike!
The problem is actually similar to the old hatching issue. Have you ever had a hatch appear strange, maybe “broken up”, shattered fragments or irregular? Was that drawing at a high coordinate value, such as for state plane coordinates?
