PW2 - moving lights

Aug 21, 2003 4 Replies

Just using Sw2004 PR1 and see from the help files that lights can be moved in the graphics area.



However I can't seem to get it to work in reality. Is it that the help files have been written before the functionality is added in the proper SP0 release of SW2004?



Or have I missed some settings somewhere in marathon session I had in getting to grips with the new layout and customizing by 'button' etc.

More like the other way around. It *was* working in the betas, but now it's not. Also, you had to turn off the PhotoWorks2 add-in to drag them around.

BTW, it's still broken in PR2. What's that all about?

The new light features were working in Beta 2. In Beta 3 it was not working so I submitted a problem report. I received a reply stating SolidWorks didn't feel the new lighting features were production ready at this time so they were pulling them back to make revisions. They would be released again when they were production ready. Hopefully this soon. I thought it was a great feature.

Thanks, Rob.

I would think from the post I have read it is close to allowing the user more direct interaction with the scene? IMHO, the interface will have to get to a level where the user feels like they are a Gaffer!
