No 2D view
Issue #288
closed
On my main PC there is a problem with the 2D viewer window, it doesn't show the Grid, but only a black window (see attached image). Version 8.5 doesn't show this behaviour. Graphic card is a Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop. Surly not the best Card on the market, but should be sufficient for such applications.

Not a bug but the user is not fulfilling the hardware requirements for FlatCAM beta.

FlatCAM beta needs a graphic card with support for OpenGL at least 2.0 with programmable pipeline. That's because FlatCAM beta is 3D accelerated by using the VisPy Python module.
FlatCAM 8.5 is not 3D accelerated and it will work on any kind of hardware.
FlatCAM beta does not work with Intel HD3000 therefore it stand to reason that HD2000 is not supported also. It seems that you are stuck to use FlatCAM 8.5.
This is not a bug, simply your PC is not fulfilling the HW requirements, therefore I am closing this issue.
