new comp = grapics issues

[kazmir44]

Hi guys,

 

Our programming dept. was blessed last week with new computers running windows 7 64bit. Which is toatlly awesome since we were still using version 9 for some things.

 

Anyways, we are currently running x2mr2 sp1. on a dell t3500, xeon processor, and quadro fx580 card.

 

When i import an iges file and analyze dynamic, the graphics are "repainted" with the last thing i verified, when i move the mouse around. I searched for any info on this subject but didn't come up with any real solution other than to try updating the drivers. (which i need to have the IT dept. take care of)

 

Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything else i can do before calling IT?

 

I already checked that OpenGL is checked on and disable front buffer is set off.

Try turning down hardware acceleration.

[gcode]

right click your X2 desktop icon

choose the Compatibility field

and check

Disable desktop compostiton

Thanks guys.

 

It's still a bit glitchy when verifying toolpaths. But, I can use anlayze dynamic now with no issues.

Solidworks has a Quadro FX 580 driver available. Thats where I point my customers to. Typically, they fix a lot of issues.

[kazmir44]

I will definitely look into that.

Thanks.

kazmir,

 

I'm running that exact system, including Win7 64 bit. Did you ever get your video issues straightenend out? If so, what driver did you end up using. I've tried a few with no luck.

I actually posted this for another guy who does our high speed stuff. I don't think he fixed the problem, but, I'll get with him on it today and find out for sure.

OS vs Version Compatability

[kazmir44]

Well, he is still having the same issues with verify. I guess he gave up, and decided to just live with it. *shrugs*

Let me know if you figure anything out.

 

also, i will have to check that last post out when i get home. I just get a big banner saying "Content blocked by your organization"

 

 

 

edit: thanks for the link JParis, that would definitely explains things. I'll put in the word and get him running a newer version.

We had issues with our new Dell Precision T1500's with the same Graphics card. If you download the latest driver, from Nvidia, your problems will, "for the most part", go away.

Try the solidworks certified drivers - worked for one of our users that had even greater problems

[Thad]

I know that I'm using an unsupported version, but does anyone know what driver and what graphics settings work with "x2mr2 sp1. on a dell t3500, xeon processor, and quadro fx580 card"? I've tried the latest driver from Nvidia's site, the SolidWorks 2010 and 2011 driver, various graphic settings with each and I still get a crappy verify that is *almost* unusable.

 

Anyone?

[Tyler Robertson]

can you post a screenshot of the verify messing up? just so I can see what's wrong with it

[Thad]

Tyler,

 

This is what happens when I rotate the part during verify.

 

I've since got a driver that works (Version 8.15.11.9038, Date 7-14-09) if I have hardware acceleration disabled. That drastically slows down toolpath calculations so I'd like to get that taken care of. Until then, it works. Scooch and I have been communicating via email.

 

I would still appreciate anyone's input.
