I'm pretty sure there has to be a setting in Solidworks that is causing this "issue" that I'm having. I'm wanting to click the face of a part in my assembly, but it grabs lines, points, etc from behind the part. Here is an example of 3 clicks that miss the face and finally 1 click that selected the face:
Try:
System Options > Display/selection - Selection of Hidden edges - Allow Selection in HLR and shaded mode = Unmark
I have the same issue, except the above solution hasn't worked. any other ideas?
Turn on the "Selection Filter" for "Faces", do this by simply hitting the "x" key.
x = faces
e = edges
v = vertices
F5 = Selection Filter on/off
F6 = Filters on/off
Thanks Ed,
I could do that, but this has only become an issue since installing 2016. You shouldn't be able to pick up on edges that are behind other edge.

Greg, did you update the graphic card driver ?
Well, then it's just the settings or the fact that SolidWorks 2016's default setting is different than your or your companies default setting.
I review and set all options to our previous settings. Review, determine and set new or relocated settings then write out a registry file.
Install SolidWorks, read in registry and viola, everything is set as it should be.
Here are my settings:
