Dynamic highlight

Sid Humphreys May 17, 2018 9:17 AM

Morning all,

Why is it when my assembly grows to a larger size, I all of a sudden lose the ability to dynamically highlight surfaces with my mouse. I need to be able to see this so I pick the correct thing.

I've gone into options, display, and the dynamic highlight pick is grayed out. I've gone into assembly and bumped up the amount of components to a crazy large number and STILL dynamic highlight is grayed out. I've unchecked the assembly mode pick and its still grayed out.

This is annoying as H**L. Why does this software continually hamstring me.

Sid

I found it. Nevermind. There is ANOTHER button I had to UNcheck under tools for large assembly mode.

MAN I miss my Pro/E.

  You could turn off large assembly mode.

  So, what was the other button you had to push? I am struggling with this as well, but cannot find the solution.
  
  Thanks!

Do you have a 3DConnexion spaceball? Those are known to trigger this. Happens to me all the time.

Is it the software hamstringing you, or your constant desire it work identically to Pro/E that is preventing you from using it efficiently?

  So I'll just pedal slower in order to ride more efficiently? I'd much rather spend my time doing other things than looking for what setting or redundant settings are doing what.

    what I'm saying is, if you come here and ask for help, you'll get help, there's a lot of insanely smart people here doing amazing things with SW on a daily basis. If you come here and insinuate that the software is inferior, people may be less likely to be helpful. If you have an issue with SW, tell SW. If you have a question on how you might get more productivity out of SW, and you ask it without insinuating it's an inferior program, you might get some useful replies.
    
    Hope you have a great weekend.
