Dynamic highlight turning off

I know this has been turning itself off over the years with not a hint at
why. But recently it was way worse on my machine - it would go off every
minute. I finally figured out that it was my SpacePilot that was causing
it! Every time I manipulated the model with my controller, it would uncheck
the setting.

I restarted SW - no change. I rebooted the machine - no change. I updated
the 3DConnexion driver to 3.6.7 - that did it.

I am on XP64 SW2008 SP4.0.

It must be related to XP64. I don't have that problem with XP32. I know
SW will turn this off if you import a model that has a bunch of faces to it.

 

Well, now this isn't fixed. I couldn't prove it yesterday, but today even
with the latest driver, any motion with the controller will turn it off.
Rats!

Looks like I failed to update this thread here.

I have since found out that calibrating the controller fixed the problem.
Apparently it was off just enough to not realize that I had stopped moving
and turn those settings back on. They are turned off every time you move
for performance reasons, and the turned back on after the move.
