SolidEdge Hidden Edge Style

SolidEdge Hidden Edge Style

SolidEdge Hidden Edge Style

(OP)
Hi,

I'm having trouble with my SolidEdge Hidden Edge Style since re-installing. I am using v18 and have service pack 12.03 which is the the latest I have access to.

I have a drawing view in a draft and I click it's properties to hide the hidden lines. The trouble is that when I click ok on the dialog box nothing happens. When I return to the properties box, the Hidden Edge check box is still ticked even though I cleared it last time.

I've done it this way for years without any problems however now there seems to be a subtle difference. When I click the tickbox once, the tick goes to a shaded square. Click a second time and it clears - it has never done this before. If the checkbox is ticked and you click, it clears. If it is clear and you click it ticks; never this intermediate step.

The net result is that I cannot hide any hidden detail :(

I have installed this on countless machines over the years and never had this issue once.





Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I'm also using Windows 7 (x64). There are a few peculiarities but the biggest one of all is that on different Windows 7 machines they have different peculiarities surprise

Having the body selected is quite strange....but it does appear to work!!

Odd, but if that is what I need to do then so beit.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've only tried it on one drawing so I'll give it a go as I need to throughout the day. No reason why it shouldn't work though.

RE: SolidEdge Hidden Edge Style

V18 was never designed to run on Windows 7 - that could be the problem.
I think the first version certified for W7 was ST3.
You should really be running it on XP Pro.
