Family Table Cell Oddities

The disappearing cursor is being worked on, but now I have had another oddity come up in family table cells.

The IT department has recommended that I check with PTC on this for possible RAM allocation error.

The issues is that I had a MasterCAM logo show up in (2) of my family table cells. It is not very repeatable.

I took a screen dump so here are two snippets of the family table:

Have you rebooted your workstation recently?

I find some of those 'can't explain weirdness' to be caused by memory allocation issues where Creo does not release all memory when it closes. A reboot is the only way to free up that memory.

Shut it down every Friday. Boot it anew every Monday.

How often does everyone else reboot there systems?

I restart every night and shut it down on Fridays.

Also, be aware that with many newer systems, shutdown does not create a restart when you start up the computer the next day. Shutdown is more like a deep sleep for the computer to enable a quicker start up and does not clear the memory.

There is always more to learn.

You took a "screen dump" of the "big dump" Creo took in your family table. Got it!🤣

That is bizarre though, never had anything like that happen, never thought something like that COULD happen. Sounds like maybe a graphics card issue? I had these weird "sparklies" all over my screen recently, not just in Creo but across everything including my background. Manually turned the power off, waited a few minutes, fired it back up, and problem solved.

Best of luck!
