Planes and wireframe elements obscured by solids in model space

Planes and wireframe elements obscured by solids in model space

(OP)
Please see attachment to what I'm referring to, basically any sketch lines, constraints, planes, axis, etc is now being obscured by the solid model, making it very difficult to select these elements as well. This happened after going from R21SP2 to R21SP6. I've been through all the settings I can find, to no avail. I've also updated my Nvidia driver (Quadro K1200). It seems like it should be a toggle somewhere (as its somewhat useful), but I really need this back to proper. Any ideas? Thanks.


RE: Planes and wireframe elements obscured by solids in model space

Tools > Options > Display from the Left Pane > Visualization tab from the right pane. Disable 'Display all elements using Z-Buffer depth' option about halfway down the settings page.

This setting should take care of it, I don't think that a Service Pack installation would have caused this to toggle on or off.

Awesome, guess I tried everything except that. I guess somehow the setting got changed when IT messed around with it. Thanks!
