X graphics question

[5 AX]

Why do I see a point at the center of all my radii. I hope I can turn this off, but I have not had any success. Anybody else have this issue. Also, why is it that when I disable open GL my models are not shaded? I thought we were not going to have to use open GL in version X.

Point be gone

 

Can't help with your other question tho.

It's not an issue; it's a feature. Do an ALT+F8 to bring up the System Configuration dialog. Select the CAD Settings option from the list box on the left. Uncheck the "Display arc center points" checkbox. Click the OK button.

You want OpenGL enabled. This provides hardware graphics acceleration for features like shading (this is also the case in V9x). Trust me, you'd rather have your hardware handling this (assuming that you have a good video card) rather than software (aka: GDI mode).

Screen Configure/Cad Settings/ Display Arc Centers

 

Why would you want to turn off OpenGL??

Thanks Bullines. I figured it was something I was missing. The open GL question is because I still have to disable hardware acceleration or i have some graphics problems. I thought I would not have to do that with X.

What kind of video card are you using?

ATI mobility Radeon X600. I do my design work in Pro-E and do not have any problems at all?

Try turning off " Use unified back/depth buffer"

in your OpenGL performance settings.

I do not have that option.

Do you have the latest OEM drivers from your notebook manufacturer's website installed?
