edge highlight selection gone in drawing
edge highlight selection gone in drawing
(OP)
I'm on 2007sp3.1 and just recently a problem is showing up while dimensioning drawings. When the mouse moves over an edge of a part, the edge used to highlight before selecting it, now it does not and the precision is gone while trying to blindly select the edge with mouse clicks. It is somewhat easier to select the first edge, but second edge selection is very difficult. We design wire type displays, such as wire grids, shelving etc.. The drawing view is set usually to projected, but same thing happens in true mode. My current PC has been working great for over a year, no problems. Although the graphics card is not certified (geforce 8500GT) I haven't had any problems until the past week.
Since the problem started, I've played around with quality settings in system/document properties and cosmetic thread draft/high quality, also tried different display styles (shaded,wireframe,etc.) But no luck so far. Any suggestions appreciated.

Have you tried a System Restore to a point before the problem started?

Thanks so much, just so happens I was importing some different types of formats such as iges about the same time the problem started. Good to know for the future.
also CorBlimeyLimey thanks for your input.

I am thinking the import of the iges files last week is what screwed up these settings (like handleman noted)
Thanks so much everyone for quick solution.
