New SolidWorks 2013 user...not usre if I have a setting wrong or my video card in my laptop is hinky, but when I move my mouse cursor or my Space navigator cursor over my model, to pick a sketch plane or pick some feature of the part, the rest of the screen blacks out and just the feature or plane I am trying to pick is framed in the only visible space left? I really can't believe this is a normal function, do I need an updated video driver? check/uncheck a setting in Tools->Options? please advise
