Usually while mating parts together, once you hover over the parts, it'll show you the 'possible' mate points.
However, right now my solidworks aint showing that. I can still click on the mating points which i want.
any idea how to turn on the hovering effect?
thanks
This may sound simple, but have you tried going into Options, Sketch, Display, Relations/Snaps? This gives you an option to click the snaps you would like displayed. Hopefully this will do the trick.
Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Do you mean that when you hover on the model the edge, face, etc. won't change color to show what you're about to select? If so, go to Options > System Options > Display/Selection and make sure the box is checked for "Dynamic highlight from graphics view". I have a couple of boxes in my System Options that occasionally un-check themselves in SW2012 and this is one of them.
