OpenGL

When I toggle my Machine/Cut Stock view to Accelerated (OpenGL) the stock model disappears leaving only the design model - as if I were only using the Machine view.  Yet in the view attributes there is a slider for controlling the display tolerance of the Cut Stock model.

The view is certainly accelerated, with completely smooth machine motions and it runs almost too fast.

At first I thought this was intended functionality, but then why control the display of the stock model?

TIA.

So many reads, so few answers..................

Does ANYONE know if the Stock model is supposed to display when in Acclerated (OpenGL) mode?

Funny, mine behaves as if I am in the Machine View...guess it is time to contact Tech Support.

Re: OpenGL

Did you try it with one of their files from samples?

by the way, The Dell PC I tried it with has a ATI fire GL  EL1 64MB
this is my older box

Just for fun, did you try re-booting and running Vericut stand alone?

mabey its a Video card memory issue???

Re: OpenGL

I have seen this before in 5.4.x.  Drivers, cards, PC changes don't seem to effect it much.   Cuts disapper and the uncut stock shows up or other display problems of the workpiece.   

Turn it in as a bug if you can send the files. 

I will be on the look out for it in 6.0 beta testing and see if it has improved.

Re: OpenGL

I ran into the same problem bringing up an older model in 5.4. Turns out I had the cut stock set to "Workpiece" view only. Try to open your componet tree, double click on your stock, select the Componet Atributes tab, and ensure your "Visibility" is set to "Both Views" as opposed to "Workpiece"
