Transformed Solids Issue

Is anyone else having an issue with transformed solids reverting back to original location. I seem to mainly be noticing it on rotated solids. Here is what is happening. I rotate a solid, do some work, maybe some layouts as well. Then at some point the solid appears back in it's original position. But if I highlight the solid, a "ghost" image of the wire will appear in the rotated position. If I rebuild the wires then the ghost image goes away, but I have to rotate it back to where I wanted it.
I reported this issue back in September along with a sample file and was told that somehow the ACIS geometry and HOOPS display are getting out of sync. The reason I am asking here is that it has been happening a lot lately, and would like to know if it is just me. Thanks!

RE:Transformed Solids Issue

Thanks for the reply, Jason. Which driver type under Tools->Options->Display->Graphics Card are you using? And what about the option under Tools->Options->Solids->Postpone loading of ACIS data until necessary? Is this checked? I'm just trying to figure out if there is something in my settings that may be giving me problems. I am using the "Hardware OpenGL 2" driver type and the "Postpone loading ACIS ..." option is checked. In fact, here is a screenshot of my Graphics Card setting page. Please let me know if you have anything set different.

This was a copy of your post inadvertantly put back into my post. (Monday mornings y'know) I'll send my image soon. Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post

Thank you Jason. This gives me something to experiment with. What about the Postpone loading of ACIS data until necessary option? Is that checked?

RE:Transformed Solids Issue

Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about. The wireframe is where it should be. I have a hunch it may be happening after making layouts, but I can't be sure yet. I make copies of the solid on separate levels and rotate and position for different machining operations. I do this before making any layouts. Then, as I program each operation, I will make a setup sheet in layout mode for that operation. I then move on to the next operation, and when I turn on the level, it will sometimes be moved, as shown. If anyone has any ideas, I am open to suggestions. Thanks!
