Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this, or if I should try some other graphics drivers.
creating a line, click, click, dimension, click.. then I double click to end creating the line and the sketch disappears. If I hit esc to end the tool, there is no problem.
Using 2k9 SP4.0 , Windows Vista Biz 64bit, ATI 5600 Driver 8.633.0.0
I know its not the approved driver, but the approved driver was giving me the same behavior.
The line could be a few inches or a few hundred, it happens every time.
here's a before and after look at what I'm seeing..
its not A part.. its all sketches. I was just wondering if anyone else saw this before opening an SPR..
and I shouldn't have to click 'ok' or anything else. A double click is supposed to end the chain of lines, not make the sketch disappear.. lol
hi Tom
yep this happens to me randomly. the sketched line disappears. doh. if i close the session of sw and open up again it works for a bit then goes again. i have a keyboard shortcut key for 'show hiddenline view'. click that and the line comes back! nothing to do with sketching i know but it seems to get the video back. very frustrating. vista x64 like you. thats what it is. their x64 bit coding is rubbish!
Ahh ok, so once you change the view from one to another, the lines will show back up.. Least that will keep me from exiting out of a sketch every time I forget not to double click
Thanks Mart
Yea I know.. and everytime I do it on my system, the lines disappear.. look at the above photos in one of my posts.
the line tool turns off. Which is a bit better.
Double clicking while creating a line will end the chain creation, but not escape the line tool. which I use extensively. I did send it to my VAR, but haven't heard anything yet.
Question: How long is the line that your drawing?
I have seen this happen on verry long lines in sw 08
