WF2 and ATI Radeon Mobility GPU

Discussion in 'Pro/Engineer & Creo Elements/Pro' started by hallstevenson, Dec 18, 2004.

  1. We rec'd a Panasonic Toughbook with a digitizer purchased for work but
    as noted in the subject, this laptop is intended to run WF2. Problem is
    is that it has ATI's Radeon Mobility graphics chipset. I know it's not
    "supported" by PTC, but can anyone make suggestions for "helping" it
    run better. It in fact runs okay until too much memory gets used up (it
    seems). For example, we had an MS Word document open, approx 100 pages,
    with each page having a large JPG. As we were using WF2, previously
    generated surface features (boundary blends) were disappearing. They
    *are* there though. Restarting the laptop fresh or opening the file on
    a desktop PC displays them fine.

    Short of replacing it (our last resort), what can be done ?? The video
    "card" does have some OpenGL settings available. Are there any that
    people know off the top of their heads that could help ??

    This is the model:

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the repost. BTW, what is this 'software tool'?
