Known Problems and Limitations in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling

Graphics acceleration

Please make sure that you graphics card is configured correctly for OpenGL hardware acceleration; no other graphics mode is supported. Running the graphics card with software rendering results in significant performance penalties and might lead to graphical artefacts and problems.

The graphics mode can be verified by the command (DISPLAY(OGL-INQ-SOFTWARE-RENDERING-P)) - a return value of NIL in the display box indicates a correct graphics hardware acceleration.


Obsolescence

Platform

Processors which do not support SSEII are no longer supported.
Windows XP is no longer supported.
