section views not displaying
section views not displaying
(OP)
I've a drawing that will not display all the section views upon opening and dis-associates the dimensions. If I click on the section lines and reverse them then return them to normal and rebuild they will show (dimensions remain lost). any ideas?

RE: section views not displaying
What command does that run?
RE: section views not displaying
nevermind on the second question.
The referenced part is a derived part, both are open when the command was run
RE: section views not displaying
Tools\options\System Options\Performance
And the open up the drawing and see what happens.
Turn it off after you test this as it causes a performance hit.

RE: section views not displaying
The balloons and leaders are present.
It is like all the components get hidden for some reason.
Does anyone know how to fix them?

RE: section views not displaying
My parent view is there (front)
No top view components are shown
No side view components are shown
section views of Top and Side views are fine.
Must I re do the *&^% views each time I find this problem?
I have seen times when changing from draft to high worked. (why?)
This has been going on over several versions of the software.
It really sucks. I wish someone knew the cause at least so I could avoid this.
Others here have experienced this problem as well.

RE: section views not displaying
1) Shutdown all apps
2) Shutdown Anti-virus
3) Uninstall Video drivers
4) Reboot
5) Install new drivers
6) Reboot
7) Test
Did you stop your AV before installing? If not you should have.
DId you shutdown all apps?
If you did all the above and still had problems, then the problem is most likely in your OS.

way to bring those views back from the dead
