Problems with Dimensioning
-
I'm running SU 6.4.112 under Windows XP with a Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 graphic card. I can only draw dimensions in front, right, left, back or above views. Any other viewing options such as ISO or orbiting, panning etc...will cause SU to freeze up and will not display any dimensions. If I hide the layer on which dimensions are drawn then SU unlocks and works normally.
Any suggestion for handling this bug would be welcomed.

Hi,
Have you tried turning off 'Hardware Acceleration'?
Select - Windows > Preferences > Open GL > Check the 'Use Hardware Acceleration' box

Hello,
Thank you so much for the tip. It has fixed the problem.

Cabu,
I have a laptop with the same video card and I don't have this issue. If it locks up and turning off hardware acceleration "seems" to fix the problem, it is only a sign of your video card (or in this case, rather your video driver) being the problem.
You should try to find a more up-to-date video driver and update your existing one since working with HW acceleration off will definitely slow down your SU especially noticeably with bigger models.
