WF2 and ATI Radeon Mobility GPU |
|
|
We rec'd a Panasonic Toughbook with a digitizer purchased for work but
as noted in the subject, this laptop is intended to run WF2. Problem is
is that it has ATI's Radeon Mobility graphics chipset. I know it's not
"supported" by PTC, but can anyone make suggestions for "helping" it
run better. It in fact runs okay until too much memory gets used up (it
seems). For example, we had an MS Word document open, approx 100 pages,
with each page having a large JPG. As we were using WF2, previously
generated surface features (boundary blends) were disappearing. They
*are* there though. Restarting the laptop fresh or opening the file on
a desktop PC displays them fine.
Short of replacing it (our last resort), what can be done ?? The video
"card" does have some OpenGL settings available. Are there any that
people know off the top of their heads that could help ??
This is the model:

Thanks in advance

Sorry, don't know if this is one of the ATI chips that can be
soft-"Quado'd", but this is the best you might be able to do. Other
than that, no one should ever again buy a 'radeon' card for use
with Pro/e.

And my follow-up to him:

with, not ATI's.
As for this chipset and ProE, it wasn't intentional. We ended up
getting a software tool that integrates *into* ProE. It works GREAT
as a software tool combination.

Thanks for the repost. BTW, what is this 'software tool'? |
