ProE WF4 , Drawing Issue
ProE WF4 , Drawing Issue
(OP)
Hi all,
I have WF 4 and I'm getting this wired issue with the Drawing. when I try to move views or dimensions, it's delaying the movement..kind of animation. To move view or dim, it it is taking around 5-10 seconds. and worst thing, it keeps on moving in that direction even after stopping your mouse movement, It is quite annoying.. Am I missing some config option here?

and updated driver. May be Windows Vista has this problem.

The problem could be that the graphics card you have isn't a certified card. Another work around is to goto Windows display properties dialog box (right mouse your desktop), click settings tab, click advanced button, now click the troubleshoot tab, and reduce the Hardware Acceleration incrementally until the problem you experience with ProE goes away. For non-certified cards I have typically found that you have to reduce the hardware acceleration to the point that the DirectDraw and Direct3D are disabled. While this may prevent the delay issue in drawing mode, the overal graphical look of your shaded model will not be so great.
One last option would be to check with the graphics card manufacturer and see if they have a certified driver for your card.
Hope this helps,

It may have something to do with your mouse driver too. There have been a lot of problems reported by people with various mice.

This does not mean that the GeForce series will not work, I have that same card in my Vista laptop, it just means that PTC, or any CAD vendor, will offer very limited support if you open a Helpdesk problem. They will tell you to try what you are doing on a certified machine configuration, then call back if you are still seeing the problem.

I'm betting that it is at the default, and it cripples the performance on a good video card despite the fact that it is supposed to help video performance. It only helps low-powered card performance.
