NX6 TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN ZOOMING

NX6 TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN ZOOMING

NX6 TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN ZOOMING

(OP)
I am running NX6.0.0.24 on windows 7 64bit UG certified dell workstation.

We use a template for all of our engineering drawings with prefilled text. Whenever I begin to zoom the text will disappear until I zoom back out.

Already searched through the forums with no luck and tried changing multiple settings in my preferences. It is happening on 3 different workstations at our office so this isnt an isolated incident. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: NX6 TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN ZOOMING

You seem to be saying that the text disappears as you 'zoom in' (increase magnification) and that it only reappears when you 'zoom out' (decrease magnification). Is that correct?

You also seem to imply that this is only happening to the text which was prefilled-in. Again, is that correct?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Yes that is correct.

RE: NX6 TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN ZOOMING

Well, that's a new one on me. I've seen where text seems to disappear a little too quickly as you zoomed OUT, but never while zooming IN. And I tried this using NX 6.0 and saw nothing unexpected.

I really don't know what to say.

Even though its a 'certified' workstation, I'd check to make sure a certified graphics driver version is installed...

I've seen this problem,too.
Control you graphic board settings,
In some case deativating line antialaising helps.

Thanks cowski, the driver version was not the certified version. Updated and everything is working now.
