    Default Sweep end grips don't display exactly on sweep ends

    I'm having an issue which I suspect is related to my graphics card. When in a 3D view looking at a building with roof fascia and gutter sweeps, when I click on the sweep the blue grips are not exactly on the sweep end points. As I zoom in, the grips seem to shift closer and farther away from the actual point where they should be. It looks like the grips "jump" back and forth as I zoom in or out.

    I've also noticed that when picking edges for sweeps or even just selecting the sweep itself, I have to click slightly away from the desired edge to make that edge highlight, or to make the sweep itself highlight.

    Graphics issue perhaps? Machine is a Core i7 8700, 12 GB DDR3-1333, with an ATI Radeon HD 1GB card driving a 1920x1200 Dell Ultrasharp (primary display for Revit) via DisplayPort, and a 1920x1080 Dell display (not Ultrasharp) via DVI.

    *edit* hardware acceleration and antialiasing are both turned on. I have not been impressed with the antialiasing of this graphics card in Revit.

    you got there.. very nice..

    everytime there's an artifact on the screen most
    people think it must be the graphics card- but
    it's not..

    most people don't know that ones and zeros
    "leak" out of memory and get missplaced on
    your system hard drive after a time..

    for me- after 30 days of downloading
    everything under the sun and opening and
    closing 200 sessions of revit- it's time for
    me to pick out the stuff i want to save and
    put it on a strorage drive and leave all the
    garbage behind and zero-fill my system
    drive.. windows 7 installs so easy i can do
    that in my sleep.. and with Revit- i only install
    the program because all my Revit files and
    content are on the storage drive..

    the result for me is- no artifacts- lots of speed-
    and never a problem with any software..
