    Here's a new one:

    Just upgraded to 2007 sp2.0 from 2006 sp4.0. Part/Assembly tangent edge
    display is resetting after opening/editing a drawing. I set the tangent
    edge display to "removed" and it keeps switching to "as Visible" after
    being in a drawing. Another crazy thing is that the lines shown are
    show "as Phantom". Tried this with existing and new parts same result.

    Can someone else try this:
    -Open System Options
    -Select Display/Selection
    -Set tangent edge was changed to "Removed"
    -Create a new part (a cylinder)
    -Ssave
    -Make new drawing
    -drag views into drawing
    -Open System Options
    -Select Display/Selection
    -is tangent edge changed to "as Visible"?

    Thanks,
    DT

    Yes, good catch. I see that too.

    You've reported this somewhere other than the newsgroup, right?

    By the way, how can you stand working with tangent edges removed? That
    drives me nuts! I work with phantom tangent edges.

    Yes, I reported it to our VAR.

    I usually have the phantom tangent edges turned on but I'm working with
    some Bosch Aluminum framing (very cool stuff, engineers erector set,
    http://www13.boschrexroth-us.com/framing_shop/) with losts of radii and
    all the lines were drive me crazy!

  4. Not on mine SW2007 SP2.0. I just tried it and it's still on Removed. I've
    never noticed that one turning itself on.

    I did figure out a clue though in that it appears to be a function of the
    setting for Tools/Options/Drawings/Display Style in that I have mine set to
    Tangent edges in new views Removed. If I change that setting to Visible or
    Use font, I see what you are seeing.

    It looks like the problem has to do with the new "View Palette" when
    creating a new drawing. If I create a part then go, file new, drawing
    nothing gets changed.
