NX 7.5 Glitch in hole creation

[SonderborgJim]

Hi all,
First time posting here. I recently installed NX 7.5.4 on my Windows 7 machine. I am trying to do the simplest thing - drill a hole through a block. I create the block, create a straight through hole, and get this:

The holed faces get destroyed with lots of partial triangle meshes. I've tried updating to 7.5.5 and reinstalling. Anyone got any suggestions? This is driving me nuts!

Hi Pascal,
It's an HP Compaq with a 3GHz Intel Core2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM. Windows 7 Enterprise edition. Graphics is just the onboard Intel Q45/Q43 Express chipset.

Hi James

I have seen this problem on a laptop with CGU integrated to the mothercard. Is it your case ?

Hi Didler,
It's not a laptop but it is using the integrated on-board graphics.

Hi James,
You will get no support with that kind of Hardware,

Here's a link of the certified Hardware/Software for Siemens NX:
I am sure your system is not in it.

My advice, if you need to work with it, get yourself a proper workstation (HP/Dell).
If it is only for some educational use, some "gaming" graphic cards work as well, but are not supported when having problems.

Kind regards,

Thanks Pascal,
I have had it working on this machine (though always a bit slow!) but it was a while ago and it's only since a Windows 7 reinstall before Christmas that this problem has arisen. Unfortunately my need to use NX is intermittent and so I'm not sure I can wrangle a whole new workstation out of my boss!

Regards,

James

Hi James,

you can also try to disable graphics hardware acceleration in your system. This worked for us when we had to run NX on virtual machines with generic graphics drivers. In Windows 7, this seems to work only on non-nVidia, non-ATI graphics cards, so you can give it a shot:

* Right-click on desktop and choose Personalize
* Click on Display
* Click on Change Display Settings
* Click Advanced Settings
* Click the Troubleshoot Tab
* Click Change Settings (if it's not grayed out)
* Drag the slider to the "Off" position.
