I would liked to know how we can speed up shading of parts although i had change chord height settings to 0.1 or more.

I assume you are in metric mode... You have to remember that you are telling the system to be accurate in it's display within .1 mm If you want faster shading set the tolerance looser (especially if you are shading large parts).

I can give the following possible causes:

1. OpenGL is disabled in Mastercam. Solution: Enable OpenGL in Main menu -> Screen -> Configure -> Screen.

2. Old OpenGL driver. Solution: download the newest OpenGL driver for your OS.

3. Poor choice of graphics card. In-House Solutions from Canada have a rundown of different graphics cards. Check their site for specifics (you already on their site).

4. Old driver for your graphics card. Solution: Visit the manufacturers site for the newest driver.

If none of the above suggestions solve your problem, you should contact your local Mastercam dealer.
