X2 MR2 shading

[sharles]

Not sure how I would search for this question, so I'm sorry if it's already been asked. I'm trying to make the move to MR2 and I noticed a couple of things different about when I have my surfaces shaded.

 

The one that really bothers me is that even when my surfaces are shaded I can still see curves and backplot lines that are below the surfaces. Is there any way to fix that? I want to be able to visually verify where curves and backplot lines are in relation to my surfaces.

 

Thanks!

Scott,

 

While the part is shaded, you can have the part as translucent or not. That will be for the geometry you see below the surfaces.

 

For the Backplot lines, Hit Alt+T and that should toggle the backplot line to be invisible.

 

Hope that helps,

Martin,

 

are you talking about the "translucent" box under the shading section of the system configuration? I do NOT have translucent marked but I can still see objects that are underneath my surfaces. Is there somewhere else so that part will show NOTHING underneath it?

 

Edit: I'm now running backplot and even my tool has become translucent and disappears and reappears while it is backplotting the toolpath. I never had this problem in X2 SP1.

Bump.

 

Do none of the guru's on here have a suggestion??? I've been looking in the help and searching the forum files. Still don't know why my shaded surfaces are partially translucent when I don't have the parameter checked in the config settings. And how I get it back to how it was in all my other versions.

 

 

Suggestions, please.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a memory issue. On really small files X2 MR2 shades all my surfaces the same as X2 SP1. Is there a memory setting that affects the graphics and what should it be?

 

Thanks.
