Does anyone know why 'Roll Forward' goes missing from the RMB menu on the feature tree when Dynamic Highlight is unchecked in Tools, Options, System Options, FeatureManager? Seems like odd behavior, but it's been that way for as long as I can remember.
Make sure you are right clicking on a roll back feature to see the option
No, that isn't the issue. It depends entirely upon whether or not 'Dynamic Highlight' is checked. If it is, Roll Forward doesn't show up on the RMB menu. If it isn't checked, Roll Forward is there. As far as I know, it's been this way back to 2005. Just wondering if anyone knows why. If not, maybe it should be an ER.
The Roll Forward option is available on my machine whether the Dynamic highlight from graphics view option is enabled or not.
Your image shows nothing is selected. As Deepak stated, select a feature below the Roll Back line and try again.
Are you still using SW11 per your avatar details?
Odd. 64 bit or 32? Also, I wonder if there is another setting that it is working in conjunction with. I've been using the same basic settings since I started with SW, so there are some that I modified way back then and have never changed.
I'm using SW13 x64 (see avatar for full details).
Are you still running SW11?
I have SW 2011, 2012, and 2013. Works the same on all of them. Been through at least 5 different workstations, and it's always been this way. Really odd. BTW, I've never used 32 bit, so that's why I asked about that.
Kevin/Deepak,
With the 'Dynamic Highlight' unchecked, I cannot select any features below the rollback bar. I wonder why. Seems to be a clue, but to what, I'm not sure.
I can see the same issue here on SW2013 SP 3.0 but Kevin doesn't have any issues which means this is a bug. Let me try it on a different machine and verify. But in the meantime please report the issue to your VAR.
Already sent to my VAR. I'll let you know what they have to say when they reply.
Ok. I just fired up a session using the factory defaults for everything. Created a new part (so it wasn't contaminated with any mods). Features below the roll bar can be selected, and roll forward it there. Turned off dynamic highlight, and roll forward is gone, and I cannot select features below the rollback bar.
Must be a SW11 problem then ... assuming you are still on SW11.
Our posts crossed.
In that case, I have no idea why that is happening. SW13 does not have that problem for me.
Nope. I've tried it in SW2011, 2012, and 2013. Same results in all of them.
Yeah, it's really odd. I tried it on another workstation thinking that it might be the space mouse, but that's not it either.
Ah, OK, I was using the other Dynamic Highlight under the System Options > Display/Selection menu. You're referring to the System Options > FeatureManager menu.
With that DH disabled, I now see the same problem. I have always had that option enabled and never use the Roll Forward option anyway.
Yeah, I normally do the same, but I disable it occasionally for performance reasons (big models with ton's of edges). That's when I notice it gone. I don't use roll forward a lot, but it is kind of handy sometimes.
