  1. Is it broken in 2004sp1.0 or why is it just not activating

  2. That might be it..but how can I miss just one view

    I have only one dimetric view and just found out that it's also impossible
    to draw anything in that view, well atleast when i try to add relation
    between line and edge/point in the model I just have message that I should
    select these two things from the same view. I tried bigger view area, no
    luck, I even tried to draw on top of model, but all I have is that same
    message.

    I think crop is affected by this same thing.

    And, when working with just one single part and making drawing out of it,
    it just without any notice puts large assembly mode on! What is going on
    here. Too tired, going home.

  3. Were you maybe locked to the sheet? Or did you maybe not have auto view
    activation turned on so it then put the line on the sheet?

  4. That was it, only strange thing is that I have worked with this same
    pc several weeks and DID NOT change any settings, it just suddenly started
    a new drawing with new settings about a hour ago. Now I really have to go
    and take a nap. The whole option for activate views not automaticly feels
    totally brainless to me, like the new CommandManager..."let's make things
    really slow and add some extra clicks and huge buttons" :-(

    Ok, new way to create mates and weldments are really cool (now you can't
    say that I'm too negative ;-))

  5. One reason I know of to not auto activation is when you have really big
    stuff in the views. With auto on, every time you pass your mouse over a
    view it tries to do something, and that can take time. Glad you found your
    problem.

  6. I hate when I have to use so many clicks to do simple things :)
    I figured out what was the drawing that "caused" this or atleast it
    happened when I was working with it. But of course if I try to create
    drawing again, it works just fine..

    ....and I was really not well few hours ago because now I have feaver,
    maybe I was hallusinating earlier :)
