Autoselecting sketch for Extrude Command
Autoselecting sketch for Extrude Command
(OP)
I have a sketch on a rectangular surface, and within this rectangular surface is a bidirectional pattern of circles (my sketch). I want to extrude the circles to make a series of pins. My problem is everytime I go to mouse over a circle, the hole rectangle highlights before I can click the mousecircle. It's a red cross hatch that slowly fills the face. If I go to mouseover the circle it renders this red cross hatch once again. I didn't have this issue before installing inventor 2008. Any ideas on what's going on? I hope I explained my problem clearly enough.

And I would not use a bunch of circles to create pins - it is almost always better to use one circle (the most simple sketch) and pattern the feature rather than the sketch.

Turning off autoproject does not affect this red hash highlighting.
rollupswx, I agree about patterning the feature. I still have the issue that if I mouseover the larger rectangle it takes a second to fill the rectangle, and I can't then quickly mouse over the circle.
aardvarkdw, your previous suggestion about changing the edges of the rectangle is a decent work around for me. How do I switch to opengl?
I'll talk to IT about updating my graphics drivers.

I said for future parts, it will not effect what you have already created - you would need to delete the autoprojected rectangle.

Stay with direct3d..not opengl

mcgyvr, I'm stuck with this graphics card.
I found that Inventor hasn't been running with direct3d, that is most likely the culprit for slow rendering of the selection. I'm going to have IT update direct3d and my drivers.
Thanks everyone for your help.
