Selection Highlight
Selection Highlight
(OP)
Hello,
I have a problem with SW2009 in Drawing view. When I try to dimension a feature, the little blue selection highlight circles are not appearing. I can dimension the feature, but it will not highlight edges or vertices. Also, when I click an edge, 3 zeros quickly flash and disappear. When I click another edge, the dimension works, but this is very annoying. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried rebooting?
What graphics card are you using?

Does it happen later in the day when you have been working for a while? System has heated up as the day goes? A long, power session of detailing?
If is was working before and is not now sounds like you may be having a bit of component failure starting to show itself.

RE: Selection Highlight
Let me explain this further...please read slowly, I tried to explain as best I could.
This is not limited to drawing mode. This happens with Smart Dimension in sketch mode as well. When I Smart Dimension a rectangle, the first selection (LINE) is not highlighted (prior to clicking). When I click, that edge becomes highlighted and subsequent selections ARE highlighted (prior to clicking). However, if I select a POINT as first selection, it becomes highlighted (after clicking) and subsequent selections are NOT highlighted (prior to clicking). Note that I cannot highlight ANY dimension reference (point, line, etc.) on my first selection.
I understand this is a weird and hard-to-explain problem, any insight is appreciated. Any body else experiencing weird highlighting problems?

Try uninstalling and re-installing latest approved video driver.
Try running a repair from the SW install disk or re-setting the registry.

I speak from actual experience from wierd things happening in SolidWorks being related to failing hardware.
But beleive what you will.
