Pro/E Transparency Issues

Pro/E Transparency Issues

Pro/E Transparency Issues

(OP)
I am having trouble with shaded components appearing somewhat Transparent in Wildfire 4. I am running windows vista home premium and my graphics card is an intel 945gm express so i cannot adjust hardware acceleration. Any suggestions on getting shaded components to appear properly during modeling or when placing views in drawings?

RE: Pro/E Transparency Issues

a screenshot would help a lot.

RE: Pro/E Transparency Issues

Is that a solid or a surface model?
Is it created in Pro-E or imported?

That is a solid model and it was drawn in pro/e.

RE: Pro/E Transparency Issues

I'd say it's a graphics card issue then. Look on PTC's site for tested and approved cards.
PTC is very particular about the card you use.

Thank You for the help, so you think there is no way around the problem?, because i would very much like to keep my current video card.

RE: Pro/E Transparency Issues

I believe there is / was a config statement
  graphics win32_gdi
that forced software emulation of graphics functions(?).
May be worth a try (or search your install & admin guide
for the term to see if it's still applicable).

Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.
