Problem display menu repeat

Hello everyone,

I have a big problem with my repetition menu (see the attachment you will understand right away).

Has anyone ever had this case  ? I have SW2014 x64 SP2

Thank you and have a good day everyone!

Hello

 

Do you have a dual screen? 

Is the problem recent or has it always been like this ?

 

Sounds like a graphical bug, are the graphics card drivers up to date?

What model is it?

You can check and download the latest recommended drivers here:

http://www.solidworks.fr/sw/support/videocardtesting.html

Otherwise, you should try resetting the SolidWorks settings to see if it doesn't  come from the configuration of the workstation:

Close SolidWorks.

Go to regedit (Start > Run > regedit) and then rename the folder with _OLD at the end for example (to restore the settings later):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Solidworks\SolidWorks .... depending on the version you want to reset.

When you restart SW, you have the "factory" settings

The license keys are in another place, so no risks.

On the other hand, if it solves the problem, it's quite complicated to know which parameter in particular is causing the problem !

If you have kept an older copy of the settings, you should try it, or take the settings from a colleague's computer if possible.

Otherwise, you have to restore all the settings by hand, hoping not to find the bug later !

Or last solution, reinstall or repair the SolidWorks installation!

The black marks?

 

I'm on Sw2014 SP2 and from time to time I have some graphical bugs, the same as you too.

 

He resolves himself to restart on his own.

Hello

Upgrading to SP 4.0? To see ....

I can't upgrade to SP4, I'm no longer under maintenance.

I have this bug almost every time (I have the same bug on the "Offset" box on the extrusion functions ect).

For the graphics card I think I'm up to date.

I've always had this bug.

I'll see with a reboot, meri for your answers!

One way would be to click several times on the top of the menu "Direction 2" and from there you can select the direction!

By lowering the screen resolution by one size?

And restart the machine completely?
