Backplot jumpy...

[William Grizwald]

When using Backplot, the tool jumps to and from the next position unless I move the screen around. Ex: Backplot / Single step the tool - each time I step forward the tool goes there then jumps back to the previous postion. If I move my spaceball (or rotate with the mouse) the tool then properly moves forward and stays at that postion till the next move.

 

Current setup:

Video card - Nvidia Quadro FX 540 w/128mgs

MCX mr2 - Intel 3.4 w/ 1gig ram

 

I'm getting another gig of system ram and a new 256mb Nvidia card this week. We'll see if the new card helps. I'd hate to hear the old, "turn off the acceleration" answer...

Settings - Configuration - Screen

In the the Graphics Support section ->

Check on the 'Disable front buffer' option.

[gcode]

also in Performance and Quality settings

for your Quadro

turn off

unified back/depth buffer

I haven't tried X2 with it on, but I've had to turn it off with every release of X2 since the beginning.

Roger,

"Disable front buffer" option did not fix.

 

Gcode,

Turn off unified back/depth buffer did not fix.

 

Then, tried both together - did not fix.

 

Finaly (and as expected) "turn off hardware acceleration" did fix it. Now my backplot works ok but my general display is pretty sucky.

 

We'll see what the next video card brings...
