Hallo
I'm quite often running in a pretty anoying display issue with VW 2017
when I group 3D objects or create a Symbol, the geometry sometimes becomes inviesible.
Snaping and markers still appear.
This happens in wireframe and within groups or Symbols.
The effect is worse, because it happens more often, within Symbols.
SInce updating to SP1 I have the impression that this happens more often.
It is almost impossible to edit 3D parts of Symbols. :-(
I cant find any reason, workflow or action that causes this, nor does it seem to be related to fIlesize or complexity of geometry.
The only way I found to get the objects back on screen is to restart VW.
Anybody else seeing this?
I couldn't find another thread with this kind of problem
best Horst
Hi,
I have had the exact same issue as you. Grouping symbols, turns them invisible, even though the object can be snapped onto and the cube appears around it. Classes and layers are visible, but this still happens. I believe this to be an issue with the software v2017 itself, and has not been resolved as of yet. What I have found that works to make them all visible again, is to ungroup the grouped symbols, and then undo your action, using the undo command. This hasnt failed me yet! Another thing i have realised (has been mentioned before) is to enter the group, and enter the symbol edit window, and then exit. This makes the symbol visible again, but only that symbol. other symbols will still be invisible.
PS. lowering the resolution doesn't work. My workplace doesn't have the most powerful computers, so I have to always work in the lowest res, and i've had this issue since upgrading to v2017.
