Problem printing sketch
Problem printing sketch
(OP)
I have a part to which I have added a sketch. I have the need for the sketch to show up on the drawing. I have clicked on "show" for the sketch in the drawing tree, which I am sure I have done before. Some of the centerlines I made the sketch from show up partially, and some do not show up or print at all. Sounds like a video card issue to me, although I have not had other video problems. Suggestions?

RE: Problem printing sketch
Should I have the OpenGL on?
Should my hardware acceleration be "none".
I may try Scott's driver installation instructions. Previously when I upgraded to the latest certified NVidia driver, I just used the "driver upgrade" route and did not do the uninstall reboot technique Scott has described here.
RE: Problem printing sketch
If the card and driver are good, the software OpenGL should not be used and hardware acceleration should be set to max.
The nVidia application setting (RMB on icon in system tray) should be set to SolidWorks.
If none of the above cures the problem, then I suggest you try Scotts FAQ.
