Model space not displaying correctly.

Inventor seems to be running fine but when I try to start a new part, assembly, drawing etc. I get a blank screen where the 3D planes should be showing. When I try to create a sketch an icon appears in the modelling space and there is nothing to highlight/select.

 

I have attached some screen captures to help visualise what I mean.

 

Why is this happening & is there a fix for this?

 

Thanks in advance.

@10741981 
Have you installed all Updates for your version of Inventor?

What happens if you turn on the Visibility of the planes?

What are your View Tab > Object Visibility settings?

Can you Attach a file here that exhibits unexpected behavior?

Possibly corrupted files/templates:

Always try installing the latest updates, if you are using the latest version/year (with very few exceptions).

Hi There @JDMather ,

 

I have installed all updates for Inventor via 'Autodesk Access'.

 

Turning the visibility of the planes on & off doesn't do anything, still showing the model space as blank.

 

Everything is ticked in the View Tab > Object Visibility settings.

 

What type of file would you like me to attach?

 

Many Thanks,

Hi There @Gabriel_Watson ,

 

I have installed all updates for Inventor but still no luck.

 

Having a look at the link you attached, the pictures do look somewhat similar to what I am experiencing.

 

I can see that it is currently being investigated though, so i'm assuming no fix yet?

 

Many Thanks,

@JDMather 

 

Please see below the attached file, I have also attached a photo of how it appears on my screen.

Your file behaves normally here. Most likely you should re-install Inventor and try again.

@Gabriel_Watson, I had a feeling it would, which was why I wanted to attach a photo of how it appears on my laptop. I have un-installed and re-installed Inventor multiple times but it appears to have changed nothing unfortunately.

Hi! When you pre-select a plane or planar face, the origin planes will not show up. Also if one of the origin planes is invisible, the three origin planes will not show up when starting a new sketch.

Many thanks!
