I will check in with Support. That won't be for about 8 to 12 days, as I'm going to be out of town and my laptop still has the older Alibre, which is working OK. I'll leave a post, FYI, when I get things straightened out. Concerning the graphics card, however, as noted above, the same problem...

Just one more clue: I've been restarting the computer and all that (and I've changed settings so that when I shut down, the computer actually shuts down and clears the kernel of crap that it might have picked up), but the graphics card doesn't seem to be the issue. When I drag my sketch over to...

Oh, and just saying "Enabled" does not resolve the problem. Obviously I need to navigate further in the Windows Graphics Settings. Oh, and I keep a shortcut to Control Panel on my desktop.

I need some guidance. I went to Enabled on the System Options ... Display ... General, and clicked on Settings below Enabled, which gets to the screen pictured as attached. Where do I navigate from this?

Just to make sure, I opened the file on Screen #0 -- I'd been using Screen #1 -- both are running on the same graphics card, but one is using an HDMI connector and the other is using, I've forgotten what it's called, but it's a wide connector with something like 19 pins -- the graphics card has...

Looks right to me ... AMD Radeon HD 5450 (#0), Detect Hardware, those should show in the attachment.

Sorry, I should have thought to try that, but unfortunately that doesn't help. The first time I went to reboot, Windows 10 had updates (I've so far steered clear of Win 11), so I restarted, those got installed, and I tried out a sketch -- same problem. Just for good measure, I rebooted once...

This is almost entertaining. So I opened up a sketch that is used to cut slots into a printed plastic piece, ultimately to lay in thin carbon rod stiffeners. My aim was to copy&paste the vertical channel, which bifurcates to guide two carbon rods around a center shaft, so I clicked-and-dragged...

Here is a milder manifestation of the phenomenon. When I took the screenshot, for some reason the captured image did not show the + shape of my cursor, which was clearly visible to my eyes, so I drew the green circle around the approximate location where the cursor was. You'll see that the...

The artifacts happen when editing a sketch, and specifically when my cursor touches some feature of the sketch, during which times the colors flash wildly, being totally different each time my cursor comes in contact with a different sketch line and, I think, maybe even moving along the same...

I just installed V26 in Alibre Design Professional. Something new: while sketching, I now get flashing colored geometric shapes as I move my cursor across the drawing. Whatever information they might convey, I find them distracting and they can make it hard to see what I am doing. What are...

That's great to know, about disabling ambient occlusion globally, because I'd prefer (with my current ageing computer, at least) to normally leave it off and just enable it when I want to get a nice-looking screenshot (and am not necessarily wanting to bother with KeyShot.) On the other hand...

I don't know what I'm doing different, but I exited Legacy Mode and at the same time disabled anti aliasing and ambient occlusion, and I'm fine, things go quickly -- thank you, Max! I had previously disabled ambient occlusion, but I think I had overlooked the option to not use anti aliasing...

I was just messaged that a new update of Alibre Design is ready for installation. I was expecting this and am at a loss what to do, though I certainly won't update. I understand that the Legacy Display option is being dropped. The newer display software is beautiful but an order-of-magnitude...

I just received notice of "Legacy Display Mode Deprecation" coming with v26. I'm sad about this. My computer is "old" at about 5 years, a quad-core, 3.5 GHz, with separate graphics card but nothing like the "horsepower" of a gaming card. In Legacy Mode, however, my display is fast enough not...
