Measure tool locks project...wtf?!?!?!
Measure tool locks project...wtf?!?!?!
(OP)
So here is the scenerio. I have a part/assembly and open the measure tool. I select something (i.e. line/circle/edge/point) and then go to select something else using right click and "select other." The measure tool info box greys out and the entity I selected had not been added to the "selected items" box. Then once that happens most of my tools grey out. All I can do from there is open other parts, use my standard views and start new parts. So I am forced to ctrl-alt-delete and shut down solidworks from there. Anyone else get this bug/problem? I have SW04 SP2.1 and its been happening since i installed sw04. It doen't happen all the time but enough to get me all upset and wanting to break my workstation.
Thanks
Thanks

Thats what I end up doing but sometimes I am not thinking or something and do it. I was wondering if anyone else runs into this problem or if it something quirky with my setup.

You should try and do a repair on your install of SW - That is located under Control Panel\"Add and remove programs"\SW04 - Click on "Change" and follow the menus to when it asks you to Repair. Click "Repair" and let it go.
If that doesn't work you might need to reinstall.
