IV11 Stability

[rltw]

I've recently installed IV11 (w/ service pack 2) on my machine and have had nothing but crashes - maybe ten or more per work day. Now, I did not have this issue w/ IV10. Is there a proper method to migrate from IV10 to IV11? I'm new to IV.

The graphics card requirement changed from 10 to 11 but it should have made it more graphics card friendly. Check the Autodesk website for your card and if it's compatible or not.

I'm using a NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 (..sadly my home machine is a FX1400, but - hey - money's tight here at work I suppose...) w/ the 91.63A driver. I can't find the card listing, but I'm pretty certain it is certified for use w/ IV11.

I'm also using Yippee Pro to manage my iProps.

Inventor 11 went made the switch from OpenGL graphics to DirectX. Check to make sure you are running the latest version of DirectX. I think it needs to be version 8 or newer.

That card should be fine. I'd do as BOPman suggested. In the meantime go to the Tools pulldown then Application Options. Click on the hardware tab and make sure that "Open GL" is selected at the top then towards the bottom select "Override recommended setting - Use Microsoft GDI generic...

Once you have made sure you have the latest version of DirectX or Direct3D, you'll need to back to where powerhound told you to go and unselect OpenGL and select Direct3D, then use the optimized setting below.

I seem to remember reading about a yippee pro problem with R11.
Double check to see if there is a new version that is happy with R11.

are you using vault

I am not using Vault. I'm curious about Yippee and potential issues -- I was just putting together new documentation standards and Yippe Pro was a component.
