Color shading issue????

Post by ohiolyons »

Aspire 10.016.

So I turned off Color Shading View off and to my surprise the 3d view goes white.

Thought maybe it was file specific so I created a brand new file and the same thing happens.

Didn't use to happen that way.

Don't know how it's supposed to work as I don't use it but it appears to be behaving the same way in 10.016 and 9.0 as far as I can see.

So it turns white and you can't see any models?

Yes, having read up on it that is how it's supposed to work. It removes the model from the view so you can see just the toolpath themselves.

I didn't have any toolpaths selected, when I did it behaved properly, thanks.

I did try to "look" at the manual and could only find this:

"Color Shaded View

Draws / Undraws the color shaded job in the 3D window."

This doresn't tell me it shows the toolpaths only when selected.



VECTRIC STAFF your manual needs to be searchable! Not certain where Adrian got the info or how he found it, but your users need a searchable option. An option to download a PDF would be best.

thanks to everyone who responded.

I typed "color shaded view vectric" into Google and the second result explained it for me. I agree the manual entry is lacking in detail.

It is searchable in the same fashion that a PDF is searchable.

Try going to https://docs.vectric.com/docs/V9.5/VCar ... vePro.html then press Ctl+F or choose the menu option Edit > Find.
