Components do not Highlight!!

Components do not Highlight!!

Components do not Highlight!!

(OP)
We are running with two bundles of NX. One is the Advance Designer and the other one is MACH 3. I am noticing when hovering over an assembly with multiple components they will highlight using the MACH 3 license and when using the Advance Designer License I have to actually pick the component with my mouse to have it to be highlighted. Can someone explain... is there suppose to be a difference in operation between Licenses.

RE: Components do not Highlight!!

My best guess is that your selection filter is set differently between the two modules.

RE: Components do not Highlight!!

With the settings in preferences they are set the same. I am trying to remember where the system did act like you had to pick it first before the part would be highlighted. I am thinking NX2. With these tailored bundles I been told that they are bundles of less operative operations or another words a piece of software just to get buy on the cheap side. These are bundles that are not supported to help save money. With that said I am just wondering if anybody remembers when you had to pick the component first before it highlighted. I think there was... Where you would put your mouse on the part until 3 little squares came up so you could start digging through the part till you found the parts/part you needed to be highlighted to make your work part. Again parts are not highlighting when I move the mouse across the assembly I have to literally stop on the part and click with the mouse to highlight then do a third mouse button to make work part.

RE: Components do not Highlight!!

Are you experiencing this on the same computer or on two different computers ?
I would guess that it's two computers, and that the one without highlight, the graphics card / driver needs to be checked.
Is this computer running a certified Graphics card ?
Is this computer running the recommended Graphics driver ?


To my knowledge, there are no such options / differences in the license-mechanism.

Regards,
Tomas
