    Dimension Display Issue

    Hey there,

     

    I have an issue on a computer running Inventor 2011 Suite on XP Sp3 with a Nvidia Geforce Pcx 5750 graphics card.

     

    In the part sketch enviroment you can start placing dimensions and they constrain the lines etc. But once you have entered the value in the box and hit done the actual dimension text disappears. You can still see the dimension line, its just the text that doesn't show up, when you double click on it it you can however modify the value, it's pretty annoying though...

     

    Anyone have any ideas, I don't have the graphics card driver version but I can get this if needed. Are there any drivers for this card that are more stable with Inventor?

    Update your driver. Your will first have to uninstall the current driver, reboot, then install the latest NVidia driver. The version I'm uning without issue is listed in my signature.
