Mysterious circles appear in Drawing
Mysterious circles appear in Drawing
(OP)
We have found out that on a lot of drawings circles appear, which do not belong there, are not inserted in the 3D model, cannot be selected AND will not disappear.
Even my colleagues abroad have reported this problem to their local suppliers (Portugal, France & Tjech Republic)
It occurred with SW2003 SP 1.0 We have tested SP 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 this morning, but the problem is still there. The bug fix list for SP 2.1 and 3.0 does not include this SPR yet (17042)
Do more people have this problem? Please report it to your local supplier so they can solve this problem. We have this problem on our drawings, which we send to the customer. Bad situations since most of our products are cylindrical.

RE: Mysterious circles appear in Drawing
It sounds like some sketches got added to your drawings and they are associated to a particular view or sheet and the only way to get rid of them is to lock something above (Or activate) to delete the circles.
If not then I guess it's a bug....and this would be the first time I heard of it before.

Do you get this problem with all your drawings or when you use certain templates?.
If it happens on particular templates, try to recreate them and see if the problem goes away.
Good luck.
When all else fails read the manual.

Maybe your problem has got to do when you switch from activate view to sheet or vice versa. A sketch entity is linked to one of those views. If they are grey you cannot select them. Try to activate each view separately to see where the line belongs to. But you seem to have converted a sheet format from AutoCAD, and not use any drawing view. So this could be a "bug" as well.
Regg: Both. Also when you print the drawing (which is the worst problem at the moment)

If it is happening to different people on different systems as you have described, then it is probably a bug.
Try changing your view options. Under "Tools", "System options", "Display/Selection" there are number of choices for model display. Play with the settings and see if it makes any difference.
Good Luck.

All other drawings and parts loaded in SW SP 4.0 lost their mysterious circles after rebuild.
