Display state in drawing showing 'shaded with edges' instead of 'shaded'

Hi,

When creating a drawing view with the display style 'shaded' I sometimes find the drawing view switching to 'shaded with edges' while only 'shaded' is still active. This mostly happens when rebuilding the drawing or when re-opening the drawing.

This issue happens to some, but not all, assemblies I create.

What I have tried so far without any improvement:

- closing and re-opening.

- create a new drawing view.

- switching to 'use software OpenGL' under system options>performance.

- Opening file on different computer.

Initial display:

Display after rebuild:

Does anybody know what the problem might be or do you encounter something similar?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Correct Answer

You can check if in the assembly all parts are set to "default display" and not to "Shaded With Edges" .

That appears to be a Graphic Issue, Is your Graphic Card on the Tested and Approved list?

Thank you for the reply.

I have checked the hardware certification. It seems like the graphic card is fine. I'll try to run a benchmark test just to be sure.

You can check if "component line font" (right click the assembly) is set to "use documents defaults"

Thank you for the reply.

The defaults were on. Unfortunately, switching between on and off had no effect on the issue.

When that happens, have you tried switching to a different display style, and then back to "Shaded"?

That works, untill I rebuild or reopen the drawing. Then it changes back to shaded with edges (while having selected 'shaded' ).

Hi Marco,

Thank you for the help!

I checked the assembly. At first sight all assemblies were at default display. But then I started changing a few (recently added) assemblies to shaded without edges and the drawing updated correctly (also after rebuilding) . Not really sure why these assemblies caused the trouble but the result is perfect!
