Graphic problems

[Guffie]

Hi!

 

I'm got a new computer and experience some problems with surfaces... When I import or create a model with surfaces and there are some holes in the surface, then as soon as I place the cursor over this surface to select it, it's like it's changing to slow motion and takes much longer time to select the surface... And when I work with parts with alot of holes, it's a nightmare... All surfaces without holes doesn't have any problems... As far as I can see all my settings are the same on old computer, so I wonder what it can be...

 

I'm still running X4 MU3 and I've got a Intel i5 4x3.33GHz, 4GB RAM and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 570...

 

Any ideas what can be the reason?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

update your driver and see if there is an amelioration

Could have been a solution, but when I got new computer I changed from XP 32 bit to Win7 64bit, and also downloaded the newest version of the driver for graphic card.... So it's not about that...

Newest version is not always the certified / tested version

 

Pre win7, advice was to go to this site for Nividia Partner Certified Drivers

 

It references a driver for Win7/Vista 64 as driver version 191.87

 

this is the web page for the driver search

 

but Guffe's example shows a release 259.81 is available for download

 

Which of these drivers should be chosen ????

Looking at that list there are NO drivers cerified for Mastercam..

there are NO drivers cerified for Mastercam

 

There are no Mastercam certified drivers..

The ones certified for Solidworks are usually pretty good.

 

Try setting your video performance for "Best Performance"

that should help

Are the holes SUPPOSED to be there? Did you try analyze surface? I've seen surfaces come in on customer models with holes that are a result of some weird trimming during the import process. Usually untrim and retrim will fix it.

Well I run the 191.87 on my Windows 7 64 Bit with FX1800 card with on problem. I do see a 259.81 driver for this system. I might try updating the drive since I have the old 191.87 still for reload if I need. Windows 7 is a little different you can uninstall the Video driver, but it then tries to decide what is the best driver so might be a little fight getting it to allow the new driver. The old adage if is not broke don't fix it comes to mind. If I try it I will keep you guys posted.

I have made a single surface and just created a hole in it, and it's still a problem... I'll try to check with the other version of driver and see if it will make any difference...

 

Thanks for the help so far!

Some things to try

 

Go into Config/Settings/Screen

Make sure Open GL and Disable Front buffer are selected

Turn Autohightlight/Solids by Faces off

 

Go into WIndows Video performance at set it to "Best Performance"

[Guffie]

Thanks for the suggestions... I tried the driver which was suggested for Solid Works and it seems like the problem is solved...

 

Once again, thanks for the help!
