Sketch and Model Mode not working Inv 2011

I am having a major problem with Sketch Mode and Modelling

In sketch mode, after you’ve created a part, all the sketch functions are greyed out.

After clicking Finish, and trying to extrude or revolve, none of the functions in the EXTRUDE or REVOLVE dialog boxes work.

 

Extremely annoying……  

 

Some of these errors (problem with Sketch functions being greyed out) occurred with Inventor 2010 as well, so I went over to 2011 with my model.

 

Have been using both 2010 and 2011 this week with no problems. Problem only started today.

Did you reboot and the problem persists?
Did you start a new file and the problem persists?

The problem with the sketching has gone away. It looks like when there is a RED cross (For error), that the sketch features become greyed out.

I am still having trouble with the Revolve and Extrude Functions.

It's quite intermittant. If I press Revolve say 3 or 4 times (ie. press revolve button, and then close it), eventually the buttons and functions in the REvolve dialog box start to work.

I have never seen the behaviors you describe.
Post a screen shot next time it happens.

if you were getting those kind of issues on 2010 & 2011 was it on the same computer?

 

what are your pc specs? what does your task manager say as far as cpu and ram useage when it is grey compared to when it comes back?

 

can you fire the extrude or revolve command from the keyboard even when the icons are greyed out?

best regards,

How did you dig this one up?  It is over 5 months old and the OP hasn't been back (for this question or any other posts).  Hopefully the problem has been solved.
