Can’t see holes in my drawing

When I am dimensioning a part in drawing (WF 3) ,the holes don't displayunless I zoom in close. If I set the view to show theentire sheet, I can't see any of the holes on the part unless they are fairly large. I have looked through all of the config options and can't find anything. It is driving me nuts, can anyone help?





Thanks
 
I don't know if it will help in drawing mode, but you might try setting edge_display_quality to VERY_HIGH.
 
Thanks for the response, but I already have my edge display set to very high. I did notice this morning that any sketched circles that you draw in drawing mode also show the same behavior. If you draw a 0.05 inch diameter circle on a blank 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, it is not visible when the entire page is displayed. It only shows up as you zoom in. Small sketchedrectangles or other shapes do not seem to be a problem.
 
I think that this is a display problem. .05" ~ 1.27mm which is very small hole as compared to the sheet size that you have.Just take a print of that drawing and you will see that the holes are clearly visible.
 
Possible workaround,

try making the holes in the part larger while you do the dimensioning and set them to the correct size when you have finished.
 
I had an early build date on my software. I installed the latest build (Date Code M010) and everything seems to work great.


Thanks for the input.
