Lines on drawings not highlighting

BodyBagger · Sep 16, 2010

Hello all,
All of a sudden when adding dimensions on drawings the lines of the part I am dimensioning do not highlight when I hover over them with the cursor and therefor make it very difficult to select them. Is there a setting somewhere to contol this?

Thanks

BB,

I suspect you may have a different view set to "Lock View Focus". If so then all you would have to do is unlock that view.

Hi Updraft,
Will look for that. Thanks.

Normally that setting is "Dynamic highlight from graphics view" under Tools->Options, system options tab, display/selection category.

Importing .iges files has a tendency to deselect the "Dynamic highlight from graphics view" setting. Credit to handleman for that tip.
