SC "unable to display" drawing, or really anything

Post by Ghnol »

Hi,
we are doing a computer upgrade at our company and I am to make sure everything is in order.
On the old PC everything worked as supposed to. On the new PC, freshly installed, SC displays a blank screen where the drawing is supposed to be.
Tried different drawings (which all worked perfectly fined on the old PC), tried reinstalling, tried reinstalling graphics drivers for sheer fun of it but nothing has helped.
All I get is a blank screen, unable to do anything (though SC knows, what layers are in the drawing, so it loads the DXF at least to an extent, it doesnt display anything)
Sometimes, it says "unable to display" slightly to the left of the cooordinates.

You get 'Unable to display' when you rotate teh view. It just means that it can't display the coordinates.
The most likely problem is a display driver issue but you could try resetting SheetCam's settings. Go to Help->open settings folder. Close SheetCam, leaving the settings folder open. Now delete SheetCam TNG.ini. When you restart SheetCam it will start with it's defaults.
If that doesn't work, try using the development version. It handles graphics slightly differently and plays better with some graphics drivers.
