Mechanism models not moving in Std ProE

I have created a mechanism model and I am using WF2. When I assembled the moving parts, I could move the parts in "standard" ProE and also in "mechanism" mode by holding Ctrl-Alt and moving with the mouse. I created a few cam follower sections in mechanism and everything is great.


However, when I start modifying dimensions, cam surfaces, or joint settings, I am unable to use Ctrl-Alt mouse move in "standard mode". It works fine in mechanism mode, but not regular pro-e. If I save everything and exit out, then restart pro-e, the Ctrl-Alt-mouse mechanism motion usually comes back in standard mode.


This seems like a bug, but does anyone know what might be causing this?? I have tried regenerating, but that doesn't help.


Thanks


Phil
