Selecting hidden elements from the tree.

Selecting hidden elements from the tree.

Selecting hidden elements from the tree.

(OP)
We've upgraded to V5 R17 some time ago and have found that we cannot select an item from the tree if it is in 'Hide'. I believe we were able to select these hidden elements from the tree in R15 and R16.
Is this a setting thing somewhere? I've looked and cannot find one. Is this something new in R17? Can we change this?

RE: Selecting hidden elements from the tree.


I have encountered the same problem. (It is a bug)  What service pack are you running?

V5 R17 SP5.

RE: Selecting hidden elements from the tree.

I haven't seen this yet, but we use R17 SP6

RE: Selecting hidden elements from the tree.


I am on R17 SP04 on 64-bit.  It has been a problem since GA.  Very annoying.

RE: Selecting hidden elements from the tree.

(OP)
I wasn't very clear on the original post. The picking hidden elements problem is in the measure function; such as selecting a hidden surface from the tree to measure to picked points on a solid. I've had to pull the surface into show, pick it, then hide it again so I can select the points on the solid.

RE: Selecting hidden elements from the tree.


No problem l3ob.  I knew exactly what you meant.  You are correct it happens most visibly on the measure function; however, that is not the only place that it happens.  I tried selecting elements during functions such as join, intersect, etc. (tree selection during the function)
