Hello,
I'm not really sure how to label this one, but let me try and elaborate:
Has anyone else experienced it where there is a delay/lag spike when trying to left click (select) anything in the graphics windows on Creo 11? Calling it a delay probably isn't correct, but Creo 11 (both versions 11.0.0.0 and 11.0.1.0) just seems to "miss" some of my mouse inputs.
It happens randomly when I'm either trying to add a dimension in a 3D sketch; CTRL select edges or surfaces of a 3D model; and also when trying to move balloons in drawings? Essentially left click/selecting anything on a daily basis will just randomly not respond and I have to click again.
I always thought it was just me miss clicking but I'm noticing it more and more, and its not limited to a specific model.
I have compared it to Creo 10 and it seems to be primarily in 11.
I have tried:
- Default PTC config
- Different mouse
- Multiple models
Hi,
described behavior can be cause by graphic card drivers. You can do standard test:
If the problem disappears then it is related to graphic card drivers.
Thank you for the quick response.
I tested it but the graphics win32_gdi config option makes the models slow in general.
Panning and zooming causes stuttering (lowered frames, almost like a stop-motion picture).
If I select a component from the feature tree, I can see it highlighting every surface until finally having the entire component selected.
Very difficult to gauge the selection "performance" when everything is slowed down and stuttering.
But if the problem went away except performance issues it is pointing at a driver problem as @MartinHanak stated. That was not a long term fix, but just a diagnostics tool.
Does it only occur on large models? I sometimes have issues with selection on large models/drawing.
If not, try the graphics test option on a smaller model.
Another selection issue sometimes occurs when your graphics are scale via windows.
Another potential solution or problem is config.pro option pick_aperature_radius is set small.
