Lines not visible

Hi all,

 

I just installed the Demo version of X8 to start my training. Problem is, that I can't see the preliminary lines and selection box. Once a line is completed, I can see it, but not before.

Did anyone encounter similar problems?

Could that have to do with my training laptop only having Intel onboard graphics?

Any help is appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Niklas

Did you check the minimum requirements?

You are not there....

We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations. These do not generally have the capability to drive graphics intensive applications such as Mastercam.

Yes, I did, but obviously not the one who gave me this laptop for this job However, I had hoped to finish the tutorials on this machine, if possible. Maybe this particular problem is not related to the poor graphics? Thought it was worth asking. Thanks for the answer!

Okay, so I can blame it on the IT I shall give an update when I have a new computer.

I got my new machine today, which is much more up for the job (GeForce Graphics, more RAM, better CPU...)

 

At first I had the same problem as before, since the Intel Onboard Graphics was active by default. In order for it io work, you have to open the nvidia control panel and add Mastercam to the program list, then define the Geforce as default graphics adaptor for this program. I rebooted, just in case, and it worked!

 

Thanks and cheers!
