Annotatiions fails to display dimensions

[gdea]

Hello all, I am using SWX 2007 and at RMB and in the Feature Manager selection of Annotations, and then of "Show Feature Dimensions", the feature dimensions fail to display.
View>Annotiions is greyed out leaving no option of use. Under Tools>Options, under the heading of "Annotations Display", I toggled on all relative buttons.

Puzzled,
gdea

Which video card and driver are you using? Are they SW certified?

 

[gdea]

I am using an Invidia Graphics card, and it is certified by Solidworks for Real View Graphics. I am using the latest driver for it as well.
Thanks for your response,
gdea

Is the nVidia card application set to SolidWorks?

Is this happening with all components?

 

[gdea]

I have not heard of "setting" the Nvidia card to Solidworks, and wouldn't know how to. I know that my real view graphics works fine.

Make sure of two things:
1 - that the video card driver you're using is a SolidWorks approved driver, which doesn't necessarily mean the latest driver

2 - Look under 'View' on your toolbar and make sure that 'Hide all types' isn't selected.

Click on the nVidia icon in the System Tray (lower left corner of the screen), select Application Settings, then select SolidWorks.

It probably won't help the problem, but should be set for SW anyway.

If that doesn't cure it, can you post the file?

Sorry, lower right corner.

CBL...
You can right click on your desktop and access the Nvidia control panel there as well...

But that's a whole two extra clicks, Jeff. I've only got so many clicks left in me.

Thank you all Gentlemen,
I had another driver for my Nvidia card that I thought was older than the one I had installed, however whether it is or not, the problem seems to be solved and my Real View
Graphics workings have not changed.
Many thanks again,
