Snap Points Not Displayed

Snap Points Not Displayed

In IRONCAD 3D, guide Snap Points are displayed on edges and faces of geometry.
These are useful for operations such as positioning with the TriBall.
However, there may be cases where these snap points are not displayed.
This section explains the possible causes and solutions.


Cause:

This issue may be caused by the graphics software or the graphics driver.
When this issue occurs, you may also notice a general slowdown in CAD performance.


Solution:

[1] Open [Options] , then refer [Rendering].

[2] Under [Renderer Options], change the [* Driver Type:] to a different driver than the one currently set.

[3] There are three types of drivers. Please try each and apply the one that works best for your system.


Although IRONCAD recommends DirectX 11, depending on the manufacturer and model of the GPU installed on your PC, a different driver may be more compatible.
Set the driver that gives the best performance as the default.

If the issue is not resolved by the above steps, perform a clean installation of the graphics card driver.
Since the manufacturer and model of your graphics card may vary depending on your PC, please confirm this and download the appropriate driver from the manufacturer's website.

Graphics Driver Download Site

NVIDIA
AMD

For instructions on downloading and installing drivers, please contact the graphics card manufacturer.
Make sure to follow their guidance for performing a [Clean install] by removing existing drivers before installation.
If you install the new driver over the existing one without removing it first, the system may not function properly.

Warning
Depending on compatibility between your graphics card and IRONCAD, the latest driver may cause instability.
In that case, try installing a slightly older version of the driver.
Additionally, some PC manufacturers provide proprietary graphics card drivers.
If your PC manufacturer offers such drivers, please check their website and use those drivers if available.
