Problem Selecting Edges

Problem Selecting Edges

Problem Selecting Edges

(OP)
Hi all, new to the forums...

I am running solidworks 2005 sp01.1 and recently (today) ran into a problem for the first time that I had not encountered previously.  For some reason, when I am viewing my solid model, when I mouse over a sketch entity, edge, endpoint, etc., the object will not highlight (turn red).  I'm not aware that I turned off anything that would cause this to happen.  Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks!

RE: Problem Selecting Edges

Tools-options-system options-Display/selection  Be sure that "Dynamic highlight from graphics view" is checked.  Also I would at a minimum upgrade to SP5.0 of 2005.  Always keep up with service packs!
