Selecting hidden elements from the tree.

[l3ob]

We've upgraded to V5 R17 some time ago and have found that we cannot select an item from the tree if it is in 'Hide'. I believe we were able to select these hidden elements from the tree in R15 and R16.
Is this a setting thing somewhere? I've looked and cannot find one. Is this something new in R17? Can we change this?

I have encountered the same problem. (It is a bug) What service pack are you running?

I haven't seen this yet, but we use R17 SP6

I am on R17 SP04 on 64-bit. It has been a problem since GA. Very annoying.

I wasn't very clear on the original post. The picking hidden elements problem is in the measure function; such as selecting a hidden surface from the tree to measure to picked points on a solid. I've had to pull the surface into show, pick it, then hide it again so I can select the points on the solid.

No problem l3ob. I knew exactly what you meant. You are correct it happens most visibly on the measure function; however, that is not the only place that it happens. I tried selecting elements during functions such as join, intersect, etc. (tree selection during the function)
