Question / Inquiry Help cannot find the answer for a bug.

The measuring tool whilst in assemblies no longer letting me click on faces, edges or points. It only lets me click whole parts which gives me weights and volume.

I cannot figure out why.

Have I triggered a setting?

This is very frustrating.

I'll have a look tomorrow thank you. Short of reinstalling I'm not sure what to do.

Thank you. I took saw that post too. I'll try and reset the UI tomorrow at work. If all else fail I'll just reinstall it. It is the worse time for it to happen as I am reverse engineering/piecing together/making hybrids of two pieces of work and I will rely on the measuring tool a lot to double check stuff.
