Creo 2.0 screen is flipped?

[ptc-4808300]

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.

Bruce,

YES, you can leave graphics win32_gdi in the config.pro file.

Bruce,

How do you like running Pro-e on the Macbook? Any problems keeping it all together?

Just thought I'd ask as I'm considering the same...

Thanks,

This was brilliant. Putting the graphics win32_gdi at the start of the config file works perfectly.

Thank you Martin.

I have the same Mac Pro with VM Ware, Windows 7 operating.

Only had Creo 2.0 for a few days but all operating well, including rendering.

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

Dalong,

you have to tell us what Pro/ENGINEER or CREO PARAMETRIC version do you use.

I have the same problem, and there appears to be no config.pro file, also what do you mean by "adding the option?

[MartinHanak]

Michael,

download my config.pro and put it into your startup directory.

Martin,

Every so often, people go the extra mile and deserve a reward. Thanks for "short-circuiting" the process and just sharing your config.pro file with the graphics win32_gdi as part of it. I just installed Creo 2.0 on my MacBook with Parallels, ran into the same problem as everyone above. I've got an PTC reseller rep out of EAC that has been a hero for me, and he suggested adding this to my config.pro. But rather that going through all that, here you had a config.pro file to share and saved me some time. Now it's running great on my MacBook. THANKS!
