Mystery box

[casey]

Hello all, I am very new to inventor and am taking over a project from the previous employee....My problem is I was editing a title block and a little box popped up and will not go away. I cant select it in either the .idw or the title block definition editor...I appreciate any help.

Well, Nevermind...Inventor crashed and the box went away.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

It's hard to tell from your photograph, but it almost looks like a selection box got stuck in the graphics.  If so, it's just a weird graphics glitch.

If you see this happen frequently, post your graphics card model and driver version here and you may get some suggestions for how to deal with it.

Also, for future reference, you can create images directly from your screen by either using the PrtScn key on your keyboard (then pasting into MS Paint and cropping), or using the Snipping Tool in Windows 7.

Next time -

instead of your camera

hit Print Screen key (or Alt Print Screen) in upper right corner of keyboard.

Open MS Paint and Cntrl V to paste and then attach the image here.

Or if using Window7 use the snipping tool...

Good heavens, I didn't even know about this!  I usually use MS Paint, but Windows+R, snippingtool is quicker.

Thanks, James

Thanks for the tips on using the snipping tool...and this is the first time this has happened, but if it persists I will post the info on my graphics card. Again, thanks for all the tips
