Can't select most edges in a drawing

Mike Price Jul 9, 2016 12:10 PM

Hi all,

I've laid out a deck and now I am trying to dimension it out and I can't pick many edges at all for dimensioning.

I have posted the files. Any help would be appreciated. This is all very straight forward, so I'm not getting something......

Thanks,

Mike

Did you check this

Or you may have another filter selected - turn them all off and it should work fine

  Hi John,
  
  Thought that I might have accidentally hit a filter at first, but that's not it. Did you open the drawing. Even if I specifically filter for edges, the only one it will let me select is the one I have pointed to. None of the others are selectable.

I had to open the model and change the Display State to Default & rebuild, and then the lines became selectable. (SW16-SP3)

  Thanks Kelvin. Didn't realize I needed to rebuild the configuration. I guess that's a quirk I never noticed.....
  
  Thanks again.
