Wrong feature preview?

[Anonymous]

IV11, SP1
Seems that the preview of a feature is not quite right. Wrong Order.
Attached in the Word doc are 2 screeshots.
The top shot is the preview of feature "Move Face2"
The bottom shot shows what "Move face2" actually is.
See how the preview shows the hole being moved vertically. (top screen)
The hole move is actually horizontal. (bottom screen)
Now, "Move Face3" is actual vertical move but the preview for it shows a horizontal move.
So it seem that feature "Move Face2" is showing the preview for "Move Face3" and "Move face3" is showing the preview for "Move Face2".
This model was stepped in too, if that makes a difference.
Whats goin on with this?
Thanks,

Hi,

I can not reproduce this using a similar dataset I created. Everything is
previewing as expected. I would like to investigate this further. Can you
please send me the dataset you are referring to in this thread. You can
email it to tanya.garner@autodesk.com

Thank you,

Tanya,
I've been looking into this more. It seems that Any part does this, Even new parts.
Here's my workflow to get it.
1. I created new Ipt
2. I made a 2x2x1 rectangular block.
3. I put a sketch on top and placed a centerpoint.
4. I made a .250 thru hole.
5. I clicked Move Face, selected the hole and moved it .250 down (Y axis).
6. I clicked Move Face again, selected the hole and moved it .250 to the left (X axis)

Now, highlight the fisrt face move (.250 down). It will show a preview for the second face move (.250 left)

rimo625,

This could be a graphic card problem. I have seen something similar recently
on my machine and I updated to a later graphic card driver.
Can you send me your graphic card type and driver version information?
Another question is : do you still see the problem when you set your
graphics to OpenGL? On my machine that also solved the problem.
