No HUD showing when placing UCS in IV2014

[bjoho]

I'm trying to place a UCS in an empty assembly.

Problem is that the HUD dont show up, so I can't enter precise coordinates.

It works in Inv 2012 but not in Inv 2014. (Both installed on same computer).

The HUD works fine with other commands but not when placing UCS (or Redefine feature).

Installed the Update 1 for 2014 SP2 but there was no change.

Also installed latest graphics driver for Nvidia 4000M, 340.66.

Does it work in Inv2015?

Hi! This is a known issue with UCS and Dynamic Prompting. The prompting "covers" the UCS coordinate input. To recover the coordinate input, simply turn off Dynamic Prompting (Tools -> Application Options -> General -> uncheck "Show command prompting."

Thanks!

Just come across this now.  This is still an issue in Inventor 2020!  Come on Autodesk.

Hi Ian,

Did you try turning off command prompting, as mentioned above? Does it not work?

Many thanks!
