Problem in drawing sheets...."smearing"

Hi,

when I'm working in drawing view, and moving
views around they "smear" . It's not a real
big problem at this point, but does anybody
know the cause? Is it a slow video card, perhaps?

TIA,

-Dennis

 

Dennis,

Moving slow and flashing are signs of a slow video card, and CPU. Smearing
is a sign of either a bad driver, poorly (or un-supported) card, (like
Radeon), or both.

I'd say usually this is the case.

But it did happen to me last week with Quadro FX 1000 in a P4 3ghz.
Repaint and Rebuild did nothing.

Just shut SWX down and restart -- quite often this tactic works on
intermittent issues. (or at least for me it was intermittent)

It occurs only when in the 2d drawing mode.

What video card are you using?
What OS are you using?
What video driver are you using?

 

Radeon 9000 AGP Pro Video Card

ATI 6.14.10.6464 driver

XP Pro OS

Dennis,

According to the SW website, the driver your using has "significant
stability and repaint problems"

6.13.01.6166 should solve some of the problems, You'll probably still have
the multi-window slowdown though.

BINGO!

 

Thanks one and all. I'll download the other driver,
and try it.
