Marcelo Posted February 6, 2000 Share Posted February 6, 2000 After I have been working on a file for a while, if I scroll the drawing or move a palette out of the way nothing but "garbage" is displayed and I have to minimize the window. The best way to describe it is that it looks like a TV with the horizontal hold messed up. When I restore the window it's fine but then it happens every time something on the screen moves. The only way to fix it then is to quit and restart VectorWorks. I am running VW 8.5.1 on a Mac 6500 with OS9. And by the way I still can't get texture mapping to work even after reinstalling the program!!! Quote Link to comment
Chuck Posted February 7, 2000 Share Posted February 7, 2000 Refer to "List of problems with VW 8.5.1" in this message board. Otherwise referred to as the 'barber-pole' or 'flying carpet' effect, I have prevented it from occurring by going to 256 colours, but I am still experiencing the problem with thousands of colours turned on. I am yet to try a full reinstall (as opposed to an upgrade) of my videoCard extensions/driver. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
Anders Posted February 8, 2000 Share Posted February 8, 2000 I have the same problem, and hasn't found a solution to it, but you can go around it by pressing z two times, that refreshes the screen. If someone has tested with another grafik-card it would be interesting to know how it worked. Quote Link to comment
cbrehmer Posted February 28, 2000 Share Posted February 28, 2000 I am having the same problem as well, tried re-installing full program with extensions off but that was no help. I too am using a MAC 6500, Sonnet G3/300, and OS 9. Checked for new drivers at Apple and ATI, I have the latest. So, it looks like 256 colors is the next step. Any suggestions on different video cards that do work? Quote Link to comment
MikeB Posted February 28, 2000 Share Posted February 28, 2000 This is just a suggestion. I saw somewhere else in this BB that if you turn off your graphics accleration extensions the problem seems to go away. We have done this one machine and havent had any problems, and we havent seen a drastic loss in performance. Quote Link to comment
