Does anyone know why my view icons would be greyed out? It only seems to be in a certain assembly and view all relations is the only one not greyed out. Any ideas?

What version of SW and are you in a part, assembly, or drawing? Finally do you have realview turned on of off?

Where are they greyed out? In the View drop down menu or in the HUD display?

I’m in an assembly and using SW08 SP5. It is greyed out in both places. And it is that way with realview on or off. For some reason view sketch relations is the only one not greyed out. But I can’t even get the sketches to show up. It’s just specific to this assembly. There are 2259 parts in my assembly and large assembly mode is on. I have a Dell Precision T7400 with dual Xeon 3.2Ghz processors and dual Quadro FX5600 cards (one is disabled) 4GB of ram without 3GB switch, and running Windows XP. Thanks for the help.

The culprit sounds to be large assembly mode. By default, LAM turns those off.
Tools, Options, Assemblies, uncheck “Hide all planes, axes…”

Thanks for the quick reply, that solved it.
Thanks Ben, for a great site.
