Viewport outline doesn't pre-highlight

[patricks]

I'm not sure if this is a 64-bit thing or Windows 7 thing or what. Lately I've noticed that my viewports on sheets will not highlight when I mouse over them. The view title will highlight with the highlight color set under Options > Graphics Tab, but not the viewport itself.

If I click to select the viewport, then I get a box that appears around the view, but that's the only time. When mousing over it, or clicking/dragging, there is nothing.

This is really a problem for views on sheets with the crop region turned off, or legend views or drafting views that may not have the title visible on the sheet. If the title is not visible and there is no crop region, then I have no indication whether I'm going to select that view or not when I click on it, and I also can't see where the view is going when I'm dragging it around on the sheet. This is a huge pain when I'm trying to fine-tune the location of views on sheets.

I do not recall this problem when I was using Revit 2010 on XP 32-bit, so I do not think it's a 2010 problem. Anyone else?

anyone else experience this?

Something similar here too.
When I drag my VIEWS to a sheet, my VIEWPORTS Don't have any boundaries on them. In 2009 it used to.

Yeah same for me, although it worked fine in 2010 on XP. Seems to be either a Win7 or x64 issue.

I have a similar issue... When I try to drag from the project browser to an open sheet window, I have no indication where I'm dragging the view to. There is no arrow, no outline, no view name dragging across the screen. Only because on my superior hand-eye-mouse coordination, am I able to get it to the correct window. Once it's dragged and dropped, then all of a sudden it appears on the sheet as normal. Makes it quite difficult when you have a bunch of windows open. check out what I'm talking about here... http://www.screencast.com/t/YTY3MWE2Nz
Oh ya, Windows 7 64-bit.
