lines(edges) dont change color when selecting them

[aroundhere]

For example. When you are about to select a line to dimension, it used to turn red before you selected it to ensure that was the line you were selecting. Also, in a model, when I go to select a edge to add a radius to, I can tell which line im selecting until after I select it. It does not change color when you place the pointer over the edge like it always has. How do I get this back? Ive tried everything I can think of. Ive gone thru the filters also. Im running 2007 sworks.

thanks guys for any help.

Another thing to note is that certain versions of SW (not sure when it started, fixed with a recent '09 SP) will turn off that option when you import a neutral format (IGES, Parasolid, etc) file. You have to turn it back on manually after the import.
