SolidJott: Problems with photoworks 2008 Scenes..no …

  • admin · 1 year ago
    First is RealView turned on or off and do you switch at any point in time? Also are you using PhotoWorks?

    Hi Ben,
    using Photoworks with RealView on constantly. Solidworks Support said to install Certified Video Driver. Did not help.

    What video card are you using? Is there any known issues with it?
  • SolidSkater · 1 year ago
    nVidia Quadro FX 1700 with the correct (***.6262)driver(not the latest). It seems to be a card promoted for SolidWorks. Not just my PC. Same behaviour on a collleagues identical PC as well.

    Video anomalies are frustrating. Are you seeing other graphical problems when you use SW2008? Odd rotation or zooming issues? These are usually good signs of driver problems. If it is just doing it with rendering, what operating system are you running? Have seen some issues with rendering when larger background processes or programs are running as well.

    Just problems when rendering scenes. Parts take textures fine. It is the room for 'scenes' that is screwy. XP professional is the OS. Will play with it for a few more days. Thanks.

    Keep us updated I am curious what this is....

    Have you tried setting your options to software opengl and seeing if the rendering improves?

    I have uploaded the screenshots Greg had sent me prior to posting. They give an idea of what he's encountering.

    Thanks guys. I have ADS working on it. I will try the Software Open GL sugestion and keep you all informed.

    hi gol10dr,
    How do I set my options to software OpenGL as you suggested? Thanks.

    Just turn hardware accelleration to 'None' right?
  • SolidSkater · 1 year ago
    Did not help. Still the same exact problems.

    To set software OpenGL close all documents in SW. Go to Tools -> Options -> Performance and down at the bottom is the option to turn on/off OpenGL.
    If you don't have all documents closed this option is greyed out.
