Whenever I rotate my part while a sketch is active it turns it into wireframe. How do I turn it off?

Howdy all,

I'm using SolidWorks 2018 and a 3D space pilot pro (maybe important?) and whenever I rotate a part with a sketch active it makes the part become transparent (or wire-frame I'm not sure) during rotation, then solid again once I stop. This makes it extremely difficult to see features and such when trying to maneuver the part in sketch mode. Is there a way to keep the part solid? I've searched high and low but haven't found anything relating to this.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. That sounds like a graphics card issue. Is your graphics card and it's driver SW certified? See Why am I getting weird graphics issues?

  Glenn,
  
  Its definitely not an approved card. I'm running an old Macbook Pro 2015 with a 5xxm series card until my new work computer gets in (I'm excited for that beast). I had a feeling it was graphical but just wanted to double check there wasn't a setting somewhere that was ticked. Thanks for the link as well! I'll try openGL and see what happens.
