Highlight edges when using fillet

nathaphon.sulimphumi98KNR — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 11:14:59 GMT

Hi,

When I use fillet, blue dotted lines normally appear on all edges. Now it is gone, do you know how I can get it back?

Below you can see what I mean with the lines.

Thank you!

What is your current selection filter priority?

The resolution of your images is too poor to be useful.

The usual practice is to use the Windows commands Shift Win S to grab a screen capture and Ctrl v to Paste the screen capture into a Reply.

I think I saw another thread where this highlighting/selection process might be a regression in 2023.1

What version of Inventor are you using?

Can you Attach a sample *.ipt file here?

I did not go through your feature history tree carefully - but the first thing that jumps out to me is where is Solid5?

Hi,

Solid 5 is just some lettering that is suppressed. See attachment.

Thank you.

Hi! I think JD is right. This is about prehighlighting. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Colors -> check "Enable Prehighlighting."

Many thanks!

Hi, @johnsonshiue

Please see the attachment for both the files. Thank you!

Hi! I am sorry I think I have misunderstood your request. I am back to square one. I don't know what you meant by blue dotted lines in this context.

Many thanks!

Hi, @johnsonshiue @JDMather picture 1picture 2

I apologise for the miscommunication. I will say my problem better this time.

In the attachment you can find 2 ipt. attachments namely double-one and 3-loop. What I can't do is create the same fillet from the 3-loop in the double-one. In picture 1, you can see which fillet I want to create and in picture 2, you can see where I want to have the same fillet. the fillet i want to recreate in de 3-loop is fillet 14, 15 and 16.

Do you have an idea why I cannot do the same fillet as the 3-loop but this time in the double-one? It has a variable rounding and it can select the whole edge and with the double-one drawing it selects only one edge instead of the whole one.

Thank you for your patience.
