why does mouse cursor change to dimension icon in assembly?

Joseph Sensenig Dec 11, 2015 1:52 PM

I have a question regarding why my mouse cursor changes to a dimension icon in an assembly when hovering over different parts? For example, see picture below. I may be trying to select a face or something to drag it, but the pointer has changed to a dimension icon, so when I click, it drags out a dimension instead of moving the part. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be, or if there are any settings that can be changed to modify this behavior?

I disovered that the reason it was doing this is because certain parts were set to show feature dimensions. By turning that off in the part level, it fixed the problem in the assembly level.

  I've never had this problem until just now. Same exact thing is happening. In my case it started when I dropped in a fairly large sub assembly. Never had an issue working on the sub. It has lots of parts and tracking down each annotation folder is going to be a pain. There has to be a better way. My cursor only changes when I hover the sub, no other subs or primary components. It doesn't happen if I open the large sub in its own window.
