PRESELECTION HIGHLIGHTING (wildfire 5.0)

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator card (358MB graphics memory). Pro/E wildfire 5.0 works great except for PRESELECTION HIGHLIGHTING. It is checked on and it still does not work. It becomes increasingly frustrating the more complicated my drawings get. Can anyone help?

Thanx in advance

Hi

I have the same lap top, and using WF 3, I've never been able to get pre-selection to highlight.

It will tell me something is picked, but won't highlight, if I click on it, it turns red like it's supposed too, but I can't see what is picked a head of time before I click on it.

Sure would be nice to get that working.

BTW how would you know if pre-selection is turned on or off, I couldn't find a config pro option for it.

Through WF 3.0 it's found at Edit/Select/Preferences.

I use two quick mapkeys to turn it on and off.

So I pretty much just have to deal with it? Is there no setting I could make on my graphics card to get this to work?

If you're still having problems after trying the mentioned settings, looking at the graphics card you have, probably the only way to get it to work is to upgrade to a higher end graphics card if possible.

Hey Kevin, Whats the config.pro option? cos I have preselection highlighting checked on via the Edit>Select>Preferences.

When I pull up the menu, the preselection highlighting is checked. However, the other options: ("region style", "including items crossing region boundary" and "thickness") in the dialog are not changeable.

In other words, I cannot change the other options in the dialog even with preselction highlighting on, as they are 'unclickable'.

Could this be part of the problem?
