I have installed ProEngineer 5.0 Date Code M050, moust of the aplications are working well but I have a problem with drawing, the fact iw that when I select a dimention to relocate it, the new position of the dimention is not updated until I release the dimention, this is a problem because I can not see the final exact location for the dimention.

At the config.pro file there is an option called GRAPHIC you can set up this option as your system need it, for me works the GRAPHIC= OPENGL aslo set up your virtual memory parameters, I have used as minimun value the amount that I have in ram memory 2 giga plus 300 Mb, and the maximun value to 3 times your memory plus 300 mb.

Currently I can see prety well the final position of dimentions when move them to a new location.

I hope this works for you either.
