X7 MU2 Drawed geometry not showing

[Cannon]

I launch Mastercam and try to draw geometry and it does not show in the screen. If I use RAM saver the drawed geometry appears and after that it works like normal.

This started happen after some update for X7, I have X6 installed in this computer and it does not have this problem. What could be causing this?

Change the properties of the X7 shortcut.

Under 'Compatibility', disable 'Desktop Composition'.

 

The problem is really your video card and driver.

It wouldn't be an ATI card by any chance?

Video card? What do you have?

My video card is Amd Radeon HD 7570.

Tim, Thank you for the tip, I will test it later.

[Machineguy]

Yep, Its the video card. Radeon cards are not to friendly with cad.

This video card works okay in Solidworks and Mastercam X6, only problem is X7. I tried disable desktop composition but it takes away usability so I propably just continue hitting ram saver every time I lauch Mastercam.

You could try Screen-Regenerate Display List (not to be confused with Repaint). There's an icon for it, so it's only a single mouse click away...although so is RAM saver. Lastly, sometimes a quick flick of the mouse scroll wheel will work for these kind of graphics issues.

Noticed that we have to do that lately also.
