Hi Iwill
I moved your post above to this topic, which you had already created...adding basically the same question to a very old topic or double posting anywhere else on these forums is annoying and a waste of everyone's time.

If you want an answer then do what you were told here...give us some information...

Your first post was so empty of content I nearly deleted it thinking you must be a spammer or something...then now you finally give us some small information but I still don't know what you are talking about...it works for me if you mean what I guess you might mean...this is a new sketch attached to the face of a Pad from a previous sketch, the newer sketch is in edit mode and I added a circle to it...as you can see the centre point obviously works and is visible.

Post a detailed description of exactly what you are talking about, perhaps a fcstd file and some screen shots might help.

I tried the above in 0.14.3702 and it works fine.

I also tried this with External Geometry...it works fine in both Master and 0.14.3702.


Are you seeing any red dots on anything? e.g. the ends of line? If not what is your GPU and if Nvidia or ATI/AMD are you using the open source drivers or the proprietary drivers?

Greetings iWill,

I'll take a guess:
The center point of a circle, endpoints of line segments, arcs, etc. are only visible when the Sketch is being edited.
To edit a sketch, double-click it in the hierarchy tree, or right-click it and select "Edit Sketch from the pop-up menu.

Does this help?

I believe I have the same problem as iWill, but I have some additional details.

I create a box, select a face, create a sketch, and draw a circle on the face. No center point is visible, only the circle. If I click near the center I can select the point and perform other actions, it just isn't visible. If I draw a circle within the same sketch but outside of the face, the center point appears as expected. Line segments are the same way - on the face I can't see end points, but off the face they're visible.

Screenshot with the two circles, with and without center point:

The graphics card is a Radeon HD 5500, and this happens with both proprietary and open source drivers.

Edit: I think the sketch is attached to the back face of your pad. Try rotating the view 180 degrees around the Y-axis. Or in your pad select reversed ( or deselect it if it is selected)

Hi,
there is something wrong for some people, no doubt...I am not seeing this problem here is either 0.14 or 0.15 versions below.

That is why I suspect it is GPU/driver related in some way.

Do you see this issue in all sketches? If not then perhaps you could post a demo file, although if you see this in all mounted sketches then a demo file is unlikely to help.

It is a good idea to tell us though, ...how many other people are seeing this problem?

Jim
