circular arrowhead handles gone

circular arrowhead handles gone

(OP)
I just updated to SP1.1 and the circular arrowhead handles that appear on dimensions have vanished.  I also can no longer double click the part or feature for quick access to the dimensions.  I rolled back the SP and my problems went away.  As soon as I put it back to SP 1.1 my problems started again.  I have checked 4 other machines in my office running the new SP and they do not have this problem.  I am running windows 2000 SP 4 on a Pentium 4, 2.40 ghz, 1 gig ram, with NVIDIA Quadro4 700 XGL with the latest driver.  Has anyone else run into this problem and what was the fix?

RE: circular arrowhead handles gone

not quite the same problem, but I was having some other issues with drawings after installing SP1.1, but instead of rolling back, I did the regedit trick and it seemed to fix the issues I was having.

RE: circular arrowhead handles gone

What regedit trick?

Regards

RE: circular arrowhead handles gone

Before you try the regedit trick, go to Tools -> Options ->
System Options -> Display/Selection -> make sure "Dynamic Highlight from Graphics View is checked.  Seems install of SP1.1 resets that for some strange reason....

RE: circular arrowhead handles gone

when I installed the SP1.1, it did not change that setting, that is why I had to mess with with registry.

I used the regedit trick with success. Very nice. Also, after that trick I read the options trick and that works as well.  I would have never figured that out!  Thanks.

RE: circular arrowhead handles gone

Whell, I just installed SP1.1 and the option is checked!
I gess there is one result for each SW user (but then, this is true for all software/computer).

Regards
