Hide Non-interfering Components (Interference detection)

[rgrayclamps]

Hi,

Hide Non-interfering components feature in Interference Detection has been bothering me for years. I am wondering if you guys see the same problem below.

When I use inteference detection on an assembly, I am unable to use "Hidden" option of Non-interfering Components (last section on Interference Detection dialog box). The other three options (Wireframe, Transparent, and Use current) all work fine. Here are some info regarding my computer at work:

Windows XP sp2.0
SolidWorks 2007 sp1.1
Video card and Driver: NVIDIA Quadro FX1400, Driver Version 8.1.7.2.

However, I do not have this problem on my home computer with following specs.

Windows XP sp2.0
SolidWorks 2007 sp1.1
Video card: ATI??? (do not remember model, but it is about 4 years old from ATI.)

Thanks for your help!

Alex

There were quite a few fixes between SP1.1 and SP5. Can you update to SP5 first?

Does anyone know if this issue was confirmed and fixed in later sp? I never had the same issue with my home computer.

Thanks,
