Line weight disappears in views in idw

[Anonymous]

When dimensioning views on idw my line weights disappear on the view I am dimensioning. The Display Line Weights check box stays checked during this.

The only way to get them to display correctly is to select a line in the view and right click select properties and hit OK.

Anyone else have a better fix for this?

System:

Inventor 2012 Professional SP1

Dell Precision 3500 Intel Xeon W3565 @ 3.20 GHz

12 GB Triple-Channel Memory

AMD/ATI FirePro V7900 2 GB video card

if it's the same bug I see in 2011, highlighting the view and moving it slightly will update the line weights.

This happens to me all the time.  It may be a graphics card thing, or maybe it's just a lame Inventor bug.  I decided to stop worrying about it since the line weights have always printed correctly.  My reaction now is, "Oh look, Inventor is doing that thing again.  Huh.  Moving on..."

Another possibility: could your 3D motion controller be out of calibration and very slowly moving your drawing?  My line weights all disappear when moving the drawing on the screen, but I don't see this when sitting still.  Re-zero your Space(Whatever), if you have one.

I confirm that in R2011 line weight is not restored after view dragging (during the drag all lines are same weight). A slight change in zoom will restore them back. I can't reproduce the case with placing dimensions.

The case I confirmed is fixed in upcoming R2012 SP2. I believe it fixes also the other case.

Thanks all for the replys. It turned out is was my 3D mouse that needed calibrated.

Well, It's back with Inventor 2012 SP2. Now I don't know what to do cause it is very annoying.
