Measure Distance

So it isn't a major issue but I know how measure used to show a blue line when measuring between two faces or points that it measured (by default the closest distance) but ever since installing 2014 I no longer see those lines. Does anyone know if that is a setting somewhere or if that was just removed completely?

I still see the line here.

What selection filter do you have active?

I just changed selection types a few times and now it appears. Don't know why it wasn't working but it works now so I'm not complaining.

Hmm... i've been having the same problem on occasion too.
Sometimes the line will show, sometimes it won't.

I'll see if changing the selection type will fix it for me too when it happens again.

Well, changing the selection type didn't work for me...
But i did find out that the line only seems to disappear when i use my Spacepilot to rotate.
(using the keyboard F4 or rotate function the line remained visible.)

I am using the beta driver (3dxWare version 10.0.16), so that might be the cause for me.

Yeah I am using a space navigator running the most recent 3Dconnexion driver so maybe it does have something to do with that.

I am having the exact same problem. Changing the selection filter does not work for me.

All,

We've confirmed that we have several "preview" graphics issues.

The issues are new in update-2, and we have been tracking them as DID 1501516 in our product database.

We believe we've identified the cuase and code change have been made in our internal test builds.

Thank you,

Hurry up to get the hotfix, but it is very inconvenient to do the measurement, easy to make a mistake

I can confirm we're having the issue as well (30+ machines on Update 2). Please fix ASAP as it's crucial for knowing exactly what you're measuring. Imagine being given a tape measure without text on the tape Smiley Frustrated.

Regards,
Kenny

I have the same issue. Also when displaying the curvature.

Zooming in will show the line (but then you might not see all the rest...)

Kudo's are also appreciated Smiley Wink

Succes on your project, and have a nice day
