Graphics problem with Pro in drawing mode.

Graphics problem with Pro in drawing mode.

Graphics problem with Pro in drawing mode.

(OP)
Hi all,

 

I have been getting an annoying graphics problem in drawing mode when annotating my drawing views in Pro/E Wildfire 5.0 M050. I can be working along and shortly (7-10 menu commands) after the dialog boxes come up incomplete.(see image) It is almost like it is a phantom dialog box. If I know the selection to pick to close the dialog it will close, but all other dialog boxes the open come up the same way. I have had this issue with it since M010 but have not had to go through the drawing tutorials until recently. No I can not even get part way through a lesson before the problem starts to persist. Has anyone else seen this kind of graphics issue?

 

I have uninstalled Pro/E and reinstalled it... with the same issue  re-occurring. I have even gone to the extent of rebuilding the  hard-drive back to original factory, and after installing Pro/E the  issue is still here.I have tested this problem with and without the  latest upgrades to software & drivers, with no resolve. Please help.

I am using:

 

Lenovo Thinkpad T61p
MS Windows XP Professional (32-bit)
Intel Core Duo CPU T7300 2.00GHz
NVidia Quadro FX 570M
3.00 GB Ram

Hi all...

 

I worked it through PTC technical help and we worked out the issue.

 

By disabling the Nvidia nView Desktop Manager we have seemed to resolve the issue.

Take care & have fun!

There was a time when nView & Pro/E were compatible.  I really liked using nView, made up for some of Windoze deficiencies.
