Graphics problems

[Yaghm]

Hi,I've a big problem with the software:when I put an object on the ortographic wiew I can't moove it or see the parameters or make the connections with other objects,it seems that the object isn't on the screen.Someone can help me?

Yaghm,

I am pretty sure that this problem would be caused by your graphics card. Because of the 3D graphics capabilities in Flexsim, Flexsim requires a better than average graphics card. We recommend NVIDIA cards. (I use a 7600) If you are not in the market for a new card, you can try playing around with your graphics settings to see if you can get it to work with a lower graphics quality.
This is done by going into your START menu/Programs/Flexsim4/Flexsim Graphics Configurator. (Have Flexsim closed) Start with High compatibility mode in the list of common configurations. If Flexsim works well in High Compatibility mode go back into these settings and try bumping stuff up until Flexsim is working with the best you can give it.

I try every kind of configuration,but the problem is still here...

You've never mentioned the specifications of your computer and graphics card. If the problem did not go away even after changing your setting in the Flexsim Graphics Configurator to "High Compatibility", then that is very unusual and I would be interested to know what the other specifications of your computer and operating system are. It's very common to have weird graphical glitches like that due to low end graphic card exceptions, but they always go away when high compatibility is chosen (albeit the graphics look crappy at that point due to the lack of any graphic acceleration and such). Are you seeing these problems immediately after opening Flexsim and dragging out your first object, or is it occuring in an existing model because it might be due to exceptions in your model?

I've that problem since the first time I used the software...the strange thing is that I can moove the object and set the parameters only if I use the planar wiew...My specification are:windows xp home with service pack2,mobile amd sempron processor 2800+,512 mb of ddr ram,sis m760gx video card.(It is an acer notebook)

Do you see any differences when working in "High Compatibility" mode versus "High Quality" mode?

Have you tried updating your cpu and graphics driver from the Acer website? How about the SIS website? This is most definitely a hardware issue, so you will need to do what you can to upgrade your graphics card and/or graphics driver.
