Here's the lead-in sequence:
- Editing an assembly, inserting components
- Replace Components Command
- Cancel each attempted "Mate Reattach"
- Move just inserted replacement component to begin mating process
- Entire top level assembly disappeared from graphics area
- All the parts are still there.
- If I open an assembly that the problem assembly is part of, I can see it just fine, furthermore, I can edit it in context of the parent assembly.
- As illustrated in attached pdf screenshots: A preview of the part still shows when I hover my cursor over the icon in the task bar, and the component outlines show up when I select the parts in the Feature Manager design tree.
We very recently updated to SW2015 SP1.1
I have tried a variety of common steps to resolve this with no success.
I have also attached a screen shot of my system specs.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Best,
James
Switching the status of View>Display woke it up!
Going from Shaded to Shaded With Edges (or similar)
I guess I'll have to give myself a correct answer...Doh!
I should have tried that sooner but there are SO many things to try.
I am able to keep Shaded With Edges on for most of the work I do so I don't visit those buttons much...Of course except when SW randomly changes it's status without my permission. This is the first time it has changed to No Edges, No display. Another day at the SW drawing board. Only a few hours lost (in this instance)...
Thankful to be working!
Thanks everybody for your responses!
And thanks to Rene for suggesting it!
SW community is so often a great resource. I hope if someone else runs into the scenario they find this thread & it helps.
Regards,
James
