Creo Rendering Forces Program to Close

Creo Rendering Forces Program to Close

Creo Rendering Forces Program to Close

(OP)
Hi

     The company I am currently working for has just purchased to Pro engineer's new CAD software Creo. To make things complicated the company only using Mac computers, for numerous reasons. I am currently using VMware to make Creo compatible with the Mac. It works fine as of now the only thing I had to change was I had to by pass the graphic card, but other wise it works nicely. Recently I have been having some trouble with the rendering app. Every time I try to click on a color to use the whole program closes. I have looked all over the internet and have come up with nothing, so if anyone knows how to fix this problem it would be much appreciated.

Sometimes management decisions are baffling. Why buy a high-end CAD system and run it on hardware that is not supported. PTC will not offer help unless Creo is running on certified hardware.

Your best bet is to buy a WIntel7-64 bit machine for your CAD work. Second option is to but another CAD system that does support Mac as a certified hardware platform. Siemens NX is certified for Mac OSx in native mode.

I totally agree with looselib about getting supported hardware but short of that I would put a windoze partition on your hard drive and run Pro/E from that.  It has to work better than using a virtual machine.  Particularly with the graphics card disabled.  That is probably what is crashing the rendering.  With out a graphics card you might as well be using a 286.  

I think it was Dilberts pointy haired boss who said "How often are you going to do a 3D rendering anyway?" To which Dilbert, eying his mighty 286 powered PC replied, "Apparently only once".
