Problem with Hide Faces in the "Select Other" function

3D Design
1

Hello
On Sodiworks 2020 SP5.0, I can no longer temporarily hide the faces after clicking on "Select other"

I can select a face or edge through the part or assembly, but before, I could right-click on each face that was getting in my way to hide it.

As indicated on the Solidworks 2020 version website, the function is still available (http://help.solidworks.com/2020/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/HIDD_SelectOther_dlg.htm):
=> You can right-click on a model to hide faces, reveal hidden faces and edges.

On Solidworks 2019, I just tried again and it works normally.

Is there a bug or an option to check to reactivate this function?
 

Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards

Hello

I had the same problem and I think I just found the solution.

In the system options, you have to go to Performance and uncheck "Improved graphics performance".

It seems that this will be corrected in 2021 (SPR 1190930)

Hello

Thank you, Problem solved as Cyril.f indicates
Don't forget to restart Solidworks after unchecking the option.

Thanks again to Cyril.f

Hello;

And I thought it was my graphics card that was acting up... thank you Cyril.f
I was using the "Component Preview Window" option (right click on the component) for my complex constraints but it's not always practical.
On the other hand, now I have this little icon at the bottom right of Solidworks that encourages me to reactivate the graphics performance (Sic)...
But at least the selection by transparency works again.

Kind regards

Hello Maclane,

I also have this little logo at the bottom right now but the performance doesn't seem to be affected for all that.

Kind regards
