Spiky Part Explosion?
Spiky Part Explosion?
(OP)
I have a model of a very simply bracket. When I make a change to the model, then go to the drawing, the model "explodes" into the spiky sea urchin you see in the attached image. Here's my process to make it happen (it is repeatable):
-File, Open part in SW (part looks as it's supposed to).
-File, Open part's drawing in SW (drawing looks as it's supposed to).
-Ctrl+tab to go back to part, and the part has transformed into the monster in the image.
Rebuild and redraw don't fix it. Anything as simple as edit an existing feature or sketch, or simply close and reopen makes the part look normal again; however, Ctrl+tab back to the drawing makes the drawing look as the second image.
If I close either the part or the drawing, and reopen, they open fine, and look as they're supposed to, it's when I try to edit something then it blows up. What am I doing wrong, and more importantly, are there any fixes short of recreating the part/drawing in a different file?

If others also, what are your system specs?

I've had it happen to other parts on other machines, all with certified cards and drivers, but I haven't tried to repeat the circumstances, or fix the problem. I usually just close and reopen the part and/or drawing, and go on with my work. Like I said, the files don't seem corrupted in that I can still open them, it's just the display sometimes freaks out. Solidworks hasn't crashed on me because of this issue.

What video card and driver do you have in your computer?

Bear in mind that branded computers (HP, Dell, etc) may run a different driver for Card A versus the card manufacturer's approved driver.
