Plane highlighting

Steve Erdman Jun 3, 2008 2:50 PM

until this morning I could decide which plane I wanted to select be hovering over it in the tree. Now I select 'insert sketch' and go to the tree to select the plane I want to skech on but they don't preview.

Any ideas?

What do you mean by "preview"? Are the planes already visible, and are you expecting for them to highlight with a bold red border?

And a few more questions just to understand:
Is View>Planes toggled on or off?
Are the individual planes set to hide or show?

Are you talking about when you start a new part or when you are starting a new sketch on a part..?

  For example if I have a part I am building,without the standard plans displayed, and I want to insert a sketch on the right or front plane but I can't remenber which one, I would click insert sketch then run the mouse pointer over the three standard planes and what used to happen is the plane would highlight, I think red border, then I'd know which one to chose.
  
  It is not just parts but assemblies too when I am asked to select a plane for some operation.

    Turn on "Dynamic Highlight" under "System Options" - Feature Manager"
