Creo 4.0 extrude cut-out graphics issue
Alright, so I'll do my best to explain this annoying issue, so bare with me and I'll respond to any questions. I will try to load any pictures later that my boss approves.
First, let me describe the part. For simplicity's sake, It's basically a block with a square cutout in the center of this block. It's really more complex than this but after some elimination of features, I have figured out what's causing the problem. There is a slot that follows the center cutout's profile. The slot is 0.078" wide and rests 0.035" - 0.055" outward from this center cutout. I know the slot is causing the issue as when I suppress feature, save part, close the program, re-enter the program, and open the part, this issue still occurs.
What is happening is every time I open this part, it shows this center cutout is filled in. Also, It still shows the edge that would be there as if the cutout was still there. Once I relocate the insert tab in the tree, edit a feature or move a feature, etc etc, the graphics fixes itself and the cutout appears. Note, I know this is a graphics issue because if I have my display style as any type of wireframe the correct lines appear, even with "no hidden" but once I switch display style back to shading the part appears filled in the center again.
This is basically just extremely annoying as when I open the assembly this part sits in, I always have to activate the part or open it and move something in the tree as mentioned before to get this part to display correctly. I'm hoping there is some knowledge about this problem out there that will help me fix this annoyance, but I'm not getting on it either.
Looking forward to your help
Edit: this cutout is through the enitre block, as well as slots are located on both sides of the cutout (front and back) if I have only a slot on the front, you can look at the back and see straight through (no surface on the front side from back view), but once you look back at the front it looks filled again.
