Hi all,

I don't know what option I selected or deselected, or if my computer is buggy all of a sudden, but my mouse no longer "sees" what I'm pointing at.  I know that's hard to understand, so here are some examples:

     In a part sketch, if I select a line, the line won't highlight, so I have no idea what line I have highlighted.  The functionality is still there - ie I can still select two lines and put a relation between them; but the lines are not highlighted, so I can't see which lines I have selected.

     In a drawing, same thing - I can't see which lines I have selected.  Measurements between lines becomes a guessing game since the lines arent highlighted.  If I click the dimension button, the edge I am trying to measure from does not "pre-highlight".

     In a drawing, the BOM - If I go to the corner of the BOM box, my curser wont switch to the two-sided arrow that indicates I can change the size of the box.  Again, the functionality is still there - I can, if I'm lucky, use my regular mouse pointer to change the size of the box.

This seems to be the case in a variety of situations - can anybody tell me why?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
