Disappearing Curves

Disappearing Curves

Disappearing Curves

(OP)
I have a simple model that has one revolved sketch.  Everything was going great but now the small fillets are not displaying.  I think the file is somehow corrupted.  The curves are visible if you:
select them
print preview
have the view not normal to the sketch
I am in SW08 SP3 but have tried it on a different computer with SP5.  I do have a certified video card with certified drivers.  Thanks for the help.

RE: Disappearing Curves

Consider adding the fillets after you do the revolve instead of including them in the sketch.

RE: Disappearing Curves

Try playing with the sliders at:
Tools -> Options -> Document Properties -> Image Quality

And:
Tool -> Options -> System Options -> Performance

Thanks for the replies.
SnowCrash: Normally I would have them outside but there are good reasons in this instance
EEnd: I had tried the image quality and just fiddled with the performance both to no avail

In the problematic file I have made a square with 1mm sides and a radius of 0.05mm.  If this is in the preexisting sketch that has the errors the fillets this new fillet does not display but if it is in a new sketch then it shows up.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
