IV11 Stability

IV11 Stability

IV11 Stability

(OP)
I've recently installed IV11 (w/ service pack 2) on my machine and have had nothing but crashes - maybe ten or more per work day.  Now, I did not have this issue w/ IV10.  Is there a proper method to migrate from IV10 to IV11?  I'm new to IV.

The graphics card requirement changed from 10 to 11 but it should have made it more graphics card friendly. Check the Autodesk website for your card and if it's compatible or not.

RE: IV11 Stability

That card should be fine. I'd do as BOPman suggested. In the meantime go to the Tools pulldown then Application Options. Click on the hardware tab and make sure that "Open GL" is selected at the top then towards the bottom select "Override recommended setting - Use Microsoft GDI generic...

RE: IV11 Stability

Once you have made sure you have the latest version of DirectX or Direct3D, you'll need to back to where powerhound told you to go and unselect OpenGL and select Direct3D, then use the optimized setting below.

RE: IV11 Stability

I seem to remember reading about a yippee pro problem with R11.
Double check to see if there is a new version that is happy with R11.

RE: IV11 Stability

are you using vault

RE: IV11 Stability

(OP)
I am not using Vault.  I'm curious about Yippee and potential issues -- I was just putting together new documentation standards and Yippe Pro was a component.
