Plot Screen is Solid Black

[Bruce Vernham]

I tried installing 8.99 and 8.991 x64 on a new Windows 10 64 bit machine and for both version I am getting black plot screens.

I recently installed 8.99 and 8.991 on a different windows 10 computer that does not have this issues for the same files.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

The issue is that some of the Intel integrated graphic controllers don’t work well with the VisPy Python module which is used by FlatCAM in OpenGL (3D) graphic engine.
On those computers you could switch to the lower performance Legacy (2D) graphic mode in Edit → Preferences → General → Graphic Engine radio button.

The user can switch from OpenGL (3D) graphic mode to Legacy(2D) graphic mode in Edit -> Preferences -> General

Yes, I figured that after posting. I remember this happening before on another PC but I did not remember why.

Thanks!
