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
Problem in drawing sheets...."smearing"

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.

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.Regards

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