Can not select lines of a drawing view
Can not select lines of a drawing view
(OP)
Hi,
I have a problem from time to time where I can not select lines on drawings for dimensions etc.
I thought at first that it was because of hidden parts in the drawing view blocking the lines. It was not.
Then thought it may have been a drawing view overlapping the problem view. It was not.
I am using SW2006 sp4.1
Has anyone else had this?
Thanks

Try moving your drawing off the sheet.
Worked for me.

RE: Can not select lines of a drawing view
I got it to work by opening the model and then opening the tree and then rebuilding and randomly selecting things as they were not highlighting in here either. Then went back to the drawing and it worked.
This happens quite offen tho.
We have talked to our service provider here in New Zealand and they told us it will be in the next service pack.
I don't use them much and they wonder why:)
This is still a problem and hope someone finds a fix.
Thanks
James.
PS: I'm moving to Cork, Ireland, if anybody knows of any companys requiring an experienced solidworks operater.

I can give you the name of the SolidWorks reseller in Ireland if you like, they may be able to give you information.
Let me know if you want it.

Thanks Scott, I have even tried machine gunning ctrl-Q.
Sometimes zooming right out can work. But there seems to be nothing that fixes it completly.
Thanks to all

Tune the performance / image quality back a bit. This has worked for me in the past
