new drawing bug-sp01.1

This happens when creating secion views in drawings. I have a fairly large assembly of a mold design. When I select my line segments for a section view and insert section line-the arrows don't show up, so there is no way to determine whether I need to double click on it to flip the direction. I can create the view and then the arrows show up. I can then flip direction as needed.

As far as bugs go, this is not a show-stopper. However, it's a little un-nerving-especially the first time. You've just created a section line but you don't really see any indication that you really did in the viewing area-just in the feature manager.

If somebody cares to confirm this, I'd appreciate it. I'll call my VAR Monday with it.

Can't confirm. My arrows show. Best Regards, Devon T. Sowell

Well, thanks for trying. Mine show too eventually. They sort of flash on when I initially create the section lines. Then the labels go away until after I actually create the view.

There are further implications to this issue, but are specific to the way I create mold drawings and may not be relevent to what others do. I won't go into more detail unless anybody else confirms this. My workarounds are working, it just isnt the way it used to work. I'll just start calling the software WorkaroundWorks.

This sounds like a video card/driver issue. Best Regards, Devon T. Sowell

I am using the approved drivers for my nVidia xgl1100 vid card. Also, this was all working fine before sp01.1. All that changed was the service pack.

I'm having the same problem. Not at work right now, but am pretty sure this also happens when simply creating the section line without creating the section view.

Glad to hear that I'm not all alone on this one. That last comment about section lines when the view is not created is an issue for me because of the way I do my mold drawings. The only way to get the section lines is to actually to create the un-wanted view and then delete it. The section lines don't appear until the view is created. Then when I delete the unwated view, the section lines stay. This all was working before sp 01.1

Thanks for the comfirmation.
