CATIA ASSEMBLY DESIGN CONSTRAINTS PROBLEM

I have the exact same problem. My graphic card is fine and my PC runs Catia fast.
Any idea of what the problem could be?
Any idea of how it could be solved?

Thank you in advance.

The 'exact same problem' means that in part mode you can hover the mouse over a cylindrical or planar face & either the axis of the cylinder or planar face will pre-highlight? But in Assembly Mode there is no pre-highlight at all? I personally don't use pre-highlighting but I would check the various settings in Tools > Options > General > Display > Navigation. Having not seen the problem before, though, I can't offer any further advice - let us know what it is, if you figure it out!

(I am running V5R18, I forgot to mention it. Just in case it might be relevant. I was used to V5R16 maybe some things changed that I did not notice.)

You're right. When I hover the mouse over any cylindrical geometry in the assembly mode (let's say, for instance, I have two cylinders and I want to create a coincidence constraint to line them up) it does not pre-highlight its axis (nor the faces). I've now learned where to click to make it pick the axis or the face but still I would like to know why it doesn't show me the axis and why it doesn't pre-highlight the faces.

I've trying changing the pre-higlighting options in the
Tools > Options > General > Display > Navigation menu as you said, but no combination seems to be a solution to my problem.

Thanks again for your answer. And sorry if my english is confusing, it's not as good as I would like it to be (yet!).
