Pro Mass Exit

[SteveTG]

How often does pro shut down on you when you are panning or zooming? Mine does way too often. Sometimes every 15 min in Drawing mode. It doesn't matter whether I am using the mouse(middle mouse button) or spaceball.



Here is my config:



XP Home 5.1.2600 Service Pack1 Build 2600

P4 2.8 gh 512cache

Asus P4PE

Wildcat VP870 128mb-driver 3.01-0678

1Gig Corsair DDR400--3200cas2

Pro/E Wildfire Datecode 2003490





Std.err file sayes----RAISING SIGNAL : Signal number : 11



Std.out file reads---Un-known Event Type Gdi32GetEvent -> 246877504

Un-known Event Type Gdi32GetEvent -> 246877504



Thank you

Definitely a graphics issue ('Gdi32' is the give-away). I'd upgrade the drives, or try another graphics card.



Are you running in OpenGL or Win32_gdi graphics mode?

open gl. I just purchased this card about a month ago. The card I had before it would do similar (ti4200) in model mode. In model mode it is about every 3 hours. I do have the latest drivers. Thanks for the info. The VP870 is a supported card by PTC. I put in a call on this issue--hope they can help.

I could do nothing to fix the problem untill I upgraded to WF m150. I have not had a single exit since the upgrade!!!! What a relief! I now like my VP card again.

SteveTG,



WF m150? you are talking of Wildfire 2.0? Its about to release yet. Its preproduction 2003400 and 2003500 have been released.

[SteveTG]

No, not 2.0. M150 is the latest wildfire.

 

[Israr]

SteveTG,



You mean M150 is later than WF datecode 2003490?

Yes 2003490 is older than M150

The M series started at M140

The 2003 series end at I think 500
