When updating tables in Creo 3.0 the table and any words/numbers/etc. blink?  It seems as if the table is regenerating, but it is brutally slow to update anything.  Is there a setting in the software that is making it regenerate/update?

Hi,

I do not understand your question. Please be more specific and also attach picture(s).

I don't believe there's a way to capture the problem with a picture.  When I update a family table (contains revision, note, date, and user) in a standard drawing, the table flashes (literally turns on and off on the screen).  As I enter information, each letter or number, the table flashes and it pauses from the time I input the digit until it shows on the screen.  I have noticed the problem isn't as noticeable when I change to a dark background.

Screen flashing may be a video card issue. You might want to try adding graphics  win32_gdi to your config.pro. If it solves the problem, you have a video card issue.

There is also issues with flashing windows based on windows graphics settings, such as windows animations, dragging, etc.

You may want to try changing to a windows basic theme to test that theory.

I am not on Creo 3.0 yet, but I remember reading something like this, tell me if it applies... in Creo 3.0 they switched to direct editing (you edit text in the table instead of it opening a new popup dialog like Creo 2.0 used. I believe they added a setting so you can switch back to this box, and that would probably fix your issue. Just guessing based on what you've said so far, and what I've heard. If this is the case, hopefully someone on 3.0 can help with the details.

When editing table like this:

Box in question:

Note Properties.PNG

In Creo 3.0 you can highlight a table cell (empty or containing text), hold down the RMB and select Properties in the popup menu.  The old Note Properties dialog box will appear

When I hold the RMB, I get the following:
