Lines Vanishing!
-
I just figured this out! I'm writing this out, cause it might help others. This was my initial question:
I need some help with a very simple question...
What could be the reason for lines to vanish after I draw them? I have Edges showing and their color Auto, but after I use the tool, they aren't there anymore.
---------------------------I tried everything, then I figured out the reason. Somehow I had changed the setting in Preferences for how a line is drawn. I was used to click-move-click. It was set to click-drag!

Hi, Joel:
I would guess it is your OpenGL settings, but this is based on an experience with disappearing selection box.
Hopefully someone else can verify? -

Could be an OpenGL issue as mentioned by Mitcorb.
But to stay with a correctly working SketchUp, do you have an active section plane facing up? If you have disables showing the plane itself, it is possible to draw edges that seem to disappear right after having drawn them. Even with edges ON. -
Nope, there are no section cuts. Sometimes the problem is repeatable. Sometimes not. Try this little file below. If I draw a line from one circle to the other, the line vanishes. If I try drawing the line elsewhere and there's no problem at all.
Maybe I'm going nuts. (If I keep trying, I probably will
Here, take a look at this...

I can't draw any lines that disappear by themselfs. Neither outside nor inside group's environment.
b.t.w. your drawing axes are upside down. Right click on one to reset them. Not that I think that this makes any difference in the "vanishing edges" issue.
