One of my users is unable to toggle off the Disable Full Scence Antialiasing. The box is checked but greyed out as shown in the attached image. Everyone elses box is switchable. Any idea what controls the ability to uncheck this box please?

Many thanks

Si

OK, there are two (and perhaps a 3rd) reasons that this is coming up grayed-out. The most likely is that in Customer Defaults this option was disabled. You can check this at...

Gateway -> Visualization -> Performance

The second reason might be that an environment variable titled 'UGII_FULL_SCENE_ANTIALIASING' was set to 'false' (either set it to 'true' or just remove it altogether).

The third and least likely, if this is NOT any sort of recently purchased workstation, is that the graphics card just plain does NOT support this capability (which is rare today for anything but the absolute lowest level devices).

Anyway, check it out as it's probably one of these issues.

Thanks John, I'll have a look, but he should be pointing to the same customer defaults as everyone else.

I have to say, I've never seen a PC where that option is NOT greyed out. I have an M6600 with an FX4000M and it's greyed out for me.

NX 6.0.5.3 (NX 8 Testing)
Windows 7 64
 
We have 400 computers and its a live option on all of them apart from 1!!!!

Phillpd,
In your sign line you say "NX6x and NX8"
I also run a M6600 w quadro 4000 etc
In NX6 it is greyed out for me but not in later versions of NX.

Regards,
Tomas
