Graphics problem - autocursor, backplot

[Paul Nelson]

Hello,

Currently, when I am trying to snap to the endpoint of a line the little autocursor square just flashes on then off but does not stay. It still snaps however. Also, when stepping through a backplot the tool just flashes on and off but I cannot watch it follow the profile.

I am running V8.1.1 Mastercam. I think my graphics card is Intel®810 Chipset.

I can correct the problem by reducing the Hardware Acceleration down to 1/4.

Is there any other way to correct this problem without droppiing the hardware acceleration or buying a new graphics card?

Thank you for any assistance.

In some cases newer drivers will help.

but another card in most cases.

It's been a few years since I was on the CNC, but I recall a setting change in Mastercam display parameters for backplot. Play with the backplot display options before getting a new card.
