    This is really weird, I am doing routing and sometimes on some routes
    the elbows will look really BIG or the FITTINGS, but wait, when I check
    the feature tree they are the correct size, when I click on them, I can
    only click on where they REALLY are and not where solidworks is showing
    them to be. Even the little red boundry box shows the correct size, it
    just that visually it looks like SW is showing the wrong configuration
    size, I do have multiple part configs, and I think its only wanting to
    display one config size throughout the model every time I open it. The
    drawings look fine, its just a VISUAL bug I think. It makes it look
    real messed up though, kind of funny, check out the picture.

    FIGURED OUT how to fix it now, just for kicks, i opened the "visually
    impaired parts" and changed the config in the part level and changed it
    back, that worked. SOLIDWORKS, um, why me??? I am using a Quadro 700
    and 3400 both display this way, I am using the recommended driver, it
    can't be me, can it? Some "check config" option I missed???

    I have been using piping (routing) for years and have not seen that - I
    often see the preview display the wrong config (the one it was last saved
    in), but as soon as the part is dropped it displays OK. I use a laptop with
    a Radeon Mobility 9000, prior to that I had a desktop with a GeForce card.

    Is there an exploded view on by any chance?
