Component/group rotation handles missing?
-
I recently had a lot of trouble with my machine. Virus's/trojans etc. Now I find that when I make a Component/group the rotation handles(red + 's) that would show up when you mouse over an object are missing. I also updated my SU to the latest version in the last few days. The handles have shown up a few times but I can't figure out why they did on those occasions. I'm not sure what could be the problem but my virus problem did affect Google. My anti-virus anti-spyware listed Podium as a trojan and several items in associated with google applications. Podium no longer works. Still, can the mussing handles be associated with the new version of SU?
SU 7.0.10247
Vista 32
Nvidia GeForce Go 7900gs -
It's definitely not the new version (7) as I have the red handles properly. I'd suspect some graphics issue here instead.

When is hte last time you updated your drivers?
-
My drivers were 2007. I updated to the latest 2009 but the problem persists.
Some more discoveries. It seems that if I import a ready made component the handles appear on that object. Then as soon as I draw or create another object they will not function on any including the previous one that worked. This is crazy. Not having the rotation handles make the program seriously handicaped. Anyone have a suggestion? -

Maybe I can move your topic under the Bug Reports subforum (if that helps). Sometimes it's really hard to track a hardware problem down - especially that I haven't heard of your problem before (which of course doesn't mean it's unique but I hang around these and other forums quite a lot).
Maybe a complete reinstall?

yep, already tried the remove an clean install. no go.

Problem solved. And I was the fool. I've been working with AutoCad and had not touched SU in about 6 months. Problem was me forgetting and using the wrong tool. I feel like a true idiot. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Sorry, maybe we should've guessed (well, definitely NOT that you are an idiot but maybe the wrong tool)
I can imagine now...

Ah, the AudoCAD syndrome. I see that often at work.
I have the opposite, as I work with SU all the time and only once in a while use AutoCAD. -
