4 Caveats & Limitations The following table provides a description of NVIDIA graphics cards caveats and limitations. NVIDIA Graphics Cards Caveats and Limitations Graphics Card Driver OS Limitation / Caveat Status / Workaround All All Microsoft Windows Vista Random viewport freezes have been noticed on Windows Vista with NVIDIA professional graphics cards such as QuadroFX. None The following table provides a description of ATI graphics cards caveats and limitations. ATI Graphics Cards Caveats and Limitations Graphics Card Driver OS Limitation / Caveat Status / Workaround All All All Bug Working in 4 viewports mode may cause the user the interface or some tools to lag. Application slowdowns have also been noticed upon: loading panorama loading multiple images toggling between full-screen and window mode navigating through the user interface moving the cursor from a viewport to another. Autodesk currently working closely with ATI to resolve the issues

5 Operating System Dependent & Miscellaneous Issues The following limitations/caveats are still being investigated. Autodesk has not identified the precise combination of factors involved. Please refer to the Release Notes for further details on known issues with ImageModeler. Limitation / Caveat Bug Number OS Description / Workaround All Moving the viewport separator can leave trails/artifacts in the viewport All Anti-aliasing mode only affects 3D objects. The draw axis is not affected by this display preference All Changing the viewport mode from 1 view to 4 views will result in the wireframe color changing from white to blue, for textured objects that have capture patterns created and visible on them. N/A Microsoft Windows 64-bit operating systems Users running ImageModeler on 64-bit operating systems may experience random problems in different parts of the application. As stated in the system requirements, this version is only supported on 32-bit operating systems. N/A All Display issues have been found when using ImageModeler in dual screen mode whereby textures may appear as red texture and fonts as red square. The workaround is to use Extended screen mode instead of the Dual screen mode. N/A All ImageModeler does not support graphic tablet pen pointer behavior. If you use a graphic tablet, you must switch to a mouse pointer behavior. Send Feedback on this Document Did you find what you were looking for? Was this document useful to you?
