Hi there,

I have recently installed Creo 2.0 from the PTC website, I am a student and I recieved the educational activation code.

Everything installed but when I went to open Creo 2.0 Parametric everything is flipped over the horizontal axis. When I go to sketch the cursor is mirrored to the other half of the screen.

Has anybody has this issue before? And if so how can I fix it?

Thanks.

Bruce,

your problem looks like graphics problem. Try to add the following option into config.pro file.

graphics win32_gdi

If this option resolves your problem, you can remove it and try to install newer drivers for grahics card.

Thank you Martin this is working

Only problem is however I don't think it's the graphics card, I'm running a new macbook pro with Parralells virtual machine running Windows 7 64 bit.

I am using ANSYS 14, Autodesk Inventor and MATLAB day to day with no problems, only a problem in Creo 2.0.

Is it a problem if i just leave the graphics win32_gdi in the config.pro file?

Again many thanks.

Hi

I don't think I understand this thread at all and I am encountering the same problem with the axis flipping; firstly whereabouts is this config.pro file located (I have done a hard dsk search and there are many results) and secondly, what do I do with it? Do I open it and change the contents inside it to graphics win32_gdi, do I change the name of the file to graphics win32_gdi or what? I do not understand what has been mean by 'adding the option' win32_gdi.

Thank you
