I this something new in Maya 2009....

In the past when I switched between hard and smooth shading (buttons 1 and 3) the edges remained SOLID green

Now when I switch between hard and smooth the edges go from solid to dashed!

I could live with this if it was ALWAYS solid for button 1 and dashed for button 3 (although I do not like it, I could live with it).

What I CANNOT live with is the damn mode seems to change for some unfathomable reason! For some period I am modeling and button one lines are displayed solid and button 3 lines are dashed then for no apparent reason they SWITCH and then I am modeling with dashed lines in hard edge mode (button 1) aand solid lines in smooth shaded mode (button 3)!

For the love of all things holy and my very sanity can someone please tell me wht the bloody hell is causing this gimped behavior!




Here are screen shots to demonstrate what I am talking about...

This is hard shaded mode (button 1) with object selected....
