Question

flickering when changing texts in drawing

Hi @ all,

 

whenever I am creating 2D drawings of my parts I notice a really annoying flickering of the whole screen during changing texts (e.g. creating a note, changing notes in a table). It seems like Creo is waiting for keys and is refreshing the drawing all the time ( about 2 times per second). After a short time this causes headache and I would like to know how to get rid of this.

 

My Setup:

 

  • core i3-2120@3.3GHz
  • 6 GB RAM
  • GeForce GT 610 (driver 368.69)
  • Windows10 Pro
  • Creo Parametric 3.0 M090

 

Thank you for any help

Hi,

check what graphics is used by Creo.

In Creo Parametric 2.0 click File > Help > System Information, go to Machine Information section and locate Creo Parametric Graphics Type item. What's the value of this item ?

The graphics type is WIN32_GDI. The machine type is X86E_WIN64.

Hi,

graphics type = WIN32_GDI explains text flickering.

Check the contents of config.pro file(s). Look for graphics win32_gdi option. If you find it, remove it, start Creo and test its behavior. If it does not start with graphics type = OPENGL, then you are in troubles with graphics card.

Ok I forgot to mention that I am using Creo via RemoteDesktop. That was also the cause for flickering. When launched at the CAD PC the flickering disappears and OPENGL is used by Creo.

Sorry and thank you all!
