WF3: Trouble Selecting Detail items and dimensions

Maybe it should! Have you looked into this? That occurs to me when people mention a variety of screen/video/display/graphics related issues they're experiencing with a new version/build of Pro/e. Every new version has new hardware/driver requirements. Occasionally, GPU/card support is droppped. I'm not saying you have an "old" ELSA Gloria card, but if you did, it's not supported anymore. And, when PTC drops support for a card, it's definitely a problem child or worse ~ beyond repair. Here's where you can check on compatibility of your card with WF3:

We are running nVidia Quadro4 980XGLs. Not exactly today's graphics card, but it runs on the same software drivers as the newer FXs, and was certified for Wildfire. All other hardware should be irrelevant, since we're using basic Microsoft mice.

As for the upgrade route, we have new workstations on the way. But it remains utterly ridiculous that I *need* to have a tested card to work properly. Unlisted cards are simply untested cards - they all support the same OpenGL command set, and in fact run on the same drivers.

However I recall running graphics = win32gdi the other day to troubleshoot a goofy drawing, and I don't recall it solving the pick problem. In my experience, software graphics has always worked to separate graphics driver issues from Pro/E bugs.

I've set pick_aperture_radius to different values and it hasn't changed behavior.

Problem solved. It's the USB mouse - if I use a PS/2 mouse or use a PS/2 adapter on the USB mouse, the issue goes away. Credit goes to Neil Hagerty, who responded by email.

I suspect it has something to do with the increased mouse sampling rate of a USB mouse (120Hz), but I didn't bother to adjust the registry settings to confirm this.
