Hi Kevin, How can I keep the dynamic mode off specific only to this notebook, please advise. Reason that if I open previous file it engages back to dynamic mode. Regards,

Just a brief on notebooks I had for years. I use the desktop 98 percent with IRONCAD and only 2 percent on a mobile notebook. My first one was an i5 with nvidia graphics in 2010, Ryzen 5 2500U in 2018 and Ryzen 7 7730U w/ OLED display this July. The i5 was okay but the it was on hdd that made it slow. Nvidia pull the plug on support for gpu early and the i5 gpu was the least. Surprisingly, the Ryzen 5 2500U apu did well but no longer supported. Ryzen 7 7730U was a bit of a disappointment, as rotating/scroll zoom the model goes to a blank flashing white screen and the shaded with edges was not desirable at all. I have updated the the driver, no improvement and wifi was buggy. Was RMA 2 weeks ago and got back. The wifi part was replaced and OS re-installed. The shaded with edges got fixed but the flashing white screen on zoom and rotation still persist. KeyShot is okay though. Oh well, I have to write it down as a loss.

Hi Kim, When I am working with large files, I also encounter long loading and crash. What I've done is set my Options>Performance>Rendering> un-tick both : Use Cached Graphical Display Data and Use Visual Load when Opening Files. This settings eliminates errors/crashes on my end most of the time. Others may have a workaround on this though. regards

Maybe this earlier link will be helpful: https://community.ironcad.com/index.php?/topic/14620-export-to-pdf-issues/

Boot up this morning and pdf drawings worked correctly with current project. Haven't cycled the sfc /scannow from last Friday's issue, however no other drawings were open at the same time at the moment. Will it be working with different project folders causing this problem? regards

Thanks for your insight. I also want to test if the on board NIC but have no replacement card at moment.

Oh I am here again for this topic. At work I am compelled/multi task to open 2 or more projects on top of what I am currently modelling and doing ICD sheet drawing. The multi task work involves updating the drawings to export pdf which produce random pages with missing dimension lines and text. Re exporting to pdf change the random order in a set of 8 to 14 sheets. I have to save and close on what I am working on and close IC or reboot just to get it to work again. Using other pdf apps like Foxit or MS Print to PDF takes longer to create with artifacts. I have to ask our head office IT administrator to run sfc /scannow that actually does the fix but placed in the same situation, it does reoccur. There is no one in the IT support team that is familiar with IC. We are are working on networked one drive and available to sharepoint for others to access the pdf file. As for the hardware, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with 16 GB ram on Windows 11, IC2022. We will migrate to IC2023 next week. Working from home and storing the files locally or copying the files and doing the it on the notebook with local storage doesn't have this problem. One frustration I am experiencing is that manager points it out as user error, which I believe is not the case. Either the PC is not up to multi-task or network issue that may cause a corruption on system to produce the pdf file. I have other project engagements that are more complex with 30+ sheets that hardly have missing dimensions like this often. What I have raised before is that the BOM table changes in size in some pages if I select update all sheets. Regards to the Team

Thanks Kevin. regards

I just like to know if I can set Dynamic mode Target Frame Rate and Max Culling Threshold permanently on my new laptop. My 5 yr old HP laptop 16 GB ram with 1st gen Ryzen R5 2500U worked really good for my needs but the display is not at its best. I recently got a Asus with and OLED display, 16Gb ram with a rd3 gen Ryzen R7 7730U (suppose to be better clocked) seem to be a disappointment on my end. It needs to be set low to be usable.

Culprit is the xml thingy. Thanks to you both.

Hi Team, Thanks. I will first get rid of the xml, if it doesn't fix it, I will re-install. Let you know later, thanks.

Hi Team , Just wondering if this iis a corrupt xml or mislabel . Using the latest PU. regards

Thanks for the resource. Cheers

I've voted but only made a comment at this time. I use mostly perspective switch off. It works with isometric view T.F_ and B.F, however if I leave the screen on those set view for a break or a call, I loose it and switch perspective or go back to Plan View to reorient my sense of space. I suffer from occasional vertigo if I am tired or the eye glass is out of alignment. Perspective is perfect for the finished assembly model. Regards and have the tune in our heads. Joseph

Hi Tom, Thanks, by the way do you have a version that runs on IC2022? Will certainly appreciate if you still do. Regards,

Just did, I think this will do fine https://grabcad.com/library/poseable-figure-w-gangnam-style I get it this evening.

Hi Just like to know if anyone come across. Used to be known as Transom Jack. regards

The only thing I know is at IC rendering option Nvidia works well when set to geometry and AMD to segmented. This will result in the responsiveness on As for the Nvidia App, set things that is used in IC Scene Properites>Realistic if any enhancement is desired that will override the defaults.

Hi Grigden, the 2D Construction>Angular Construction Line meant to use the grid lines to control the angle. Please try to edit the the model and you will see the construction guides and its value to control the draft of the stock.

Hi Team, Just like to know if it possible to set the word Unfolded Sheet Metal Part convention to UF or UnF Sheet Metal Part on IronCAD without ICMechanical license or just the basic IronCAD installation. Thanks. regards.

You can use the miter command if you have made a one stock with 4 bend sides and add the a bend with a known angle and length to miter. As shown BlendPoint2_Tank_miter.ics

Hi Grigden, I am not sure how you want it exactly, but for this kind of work you have to use the Bend w/ Stock. Set the angle of the bend and pull the stock to where you want it. Edit the stock and use the 2D Construction>Angular Construction Line. BlendPoint2_Tank_bendWstock.ics

Hi Erin, Interesting subject to learn from, will keep an eye on this.

Hi Cary, Thanks for this. I'll keep this in mind. On my previous post I had problems similar but on OneDrive. Initially, I was able to fix it by creating a new user profile but degenerated over time. I finally had my PC re-installed with the OS and no longer suffered my issues back then at my place of work. The symptoms I had: long file name ok for the first time and when editing the work it won't save network directory, backup directory only shows copy file address without having the .ics and .icd file on it. Even paint app disappears for doing screenshot.

Hi Kim, This was my frustration before but it less for now on the ics model. I moved my paging file away from the system drive to a larger drive with a lot of space so it can expand and shrink without squeezing available spaces in mix on C:\ system drive. My C drive is a NvMe, D drive is a sata SSD and E a 2GB 7200 hdd. I worked with 50-60 mb model files. It was an improvement when I placed projects on SSD. I was lucky enough to get a pair of 32 GB(64GB) DDR4 3200 during a sale. I used to have 2x16GB(32GB) it was fine but the sale was to hard to resist. This made easy with working with 30+ icd drawing sheet. Saving drawings does save longer a bit. If I left the virtual memory/page file as system managed, it was really slow with bigger projects. Regards,
