Have you tried rotating the view to see if the arrow is still there? It should be.

Thanks for the help, i rotated the view and still does the same thing. also noted the WCS does the same by only shwing its self for a split sec.

I also changed my acceleration in my graphics with no success, but did change my screen size to 1152 x864 and works great now with full graphics acceleration. Thanks for the help

Click on screen click on configure click on screen in new window uncheck Enable GL(R) drawing

Tim already posted how to fix it for ya, turn off opengl in mastercam. Fixes a lot of things. Nothing slows down or changes.

Anyway..you live in Tampa? I'm just across the bridge in pinellas.
