Thank You, Simtech! The problem is gone. After read your note. I keep my 32 bit color setting and only reduced the graphics hardware acceleration one notch. Ta, Ta,--My MasterCam V9 can save files in shaded surfaces mode now (and it will not affect the graphic quality of my other rendering softwares). Thank you again!

Thank you, everybody! You people are great. What a family!

We have new Dell Win 2000 pro station with 32mb ATI rage 128 ultra card and our Solidworks and MasterCam 8.1.1 work very smooth with the set up. Our new MasterCam V.9 has a problem when I saving surfaces in shaded mode. After back and forth with Tech Spport, I can save file in shaded surfaces with 256 color set up. Can you imagin design in Solidworks and Photoshop with 256 color set up? Seems like we have to buy a new video card for our upgrade V9. (V8.1.1 works perfectly with the same video card). MasterCam dose not have any patch for this problem. They told me post a help in this forum and some body might have some great idea for my problem. Thank you, guys!
