Designer 2.007 and Sweep Rail Function

[tcough3475]

Has anyone had issues with the Sweep Rail function under 2.007? After selecting my rails then the sweep icon, I can't see the board in the lower view unless I minimize the upperview almost to the point I can't see it anymore. Then when zooming in and out of the lower view, I lose the board completly. Everything is working fine in 1.187, just having issues in 2.007. Running a PC laptop with plenty of power and like I said, works great under 1.187.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tracy

It seems fine for me. Can you post the (or an ) mpc which shows the problem? Maybe we can narrow down the possible causes.

Here's what I'm seeing:



Image 1 is what it looks like in 1.187. Everything looks fine
Image 2 is what it looks like in 2.007. You can just see the board in the bottom view. I've scrolled/zoomed in/out and haven't had any luck.
Image 3 is what the project looks like that I'm trying to create.

Here's the .mpc in 1.187. It started as a .dxf import and works in 1.187.Vine Trim 02.mpc
I can save out in 2.007 if you think it helps.

I seemed to work ok for me in 2.007.

Looking at picture #2 it looks like the side bar (for moving the window up and down) is at the very bottom. Try moving it up to view the window..

I thought about that too but when I move the slide bar any, I lose what little board image is already shown. I'm going to try re-installing the software and see if maybe there was a problem at download. Seems to be working OK for bergerud.

Before reinstalling I remembered that I had turn off graphics acceleration when I was having problems in a previous 2.xxx release. Just turned it back on it seem like it's working OK now.

I had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago. If hardware acceleration is turned off, set it back to auto (Edit, Preferences, 3D graphics tab). It fixed my problem.
