Since Aspire uses a split screen for the 2D and 3D displays, is it possible to use two monitors? Displaying 2D on one and 3D on the other. Assuming of course that two video cards are installed.
The older I get the more I appreciate a larger work area.

Re: Dual Monitors
Stan you can use two moniters, but Aspire does not support two. You can widen your screen to span the two but the software does not know there are two moniters present.BR928S4 wrote:Since Aspire uses a split screen for the 2D and 3D displays, is it possible to use two monitors?

Re: Dual Monitors
Hi
Looking 90 seconds into the video at http://vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/aspi ... tures.html
it seems to me it is possible to split the screen and drag fx the modeling window to your second screen
I have not got my copy yet (but i'm waiting for the postman to bring it to me ) And i'm hoping I am right because I also have a dual screen setup

Re: Dual Monitors
Hi,
You can stretch the main Aspire window across your two monitors and arrange it so that the 2d view is on one monitor and the 3d view is on the other.

Re: Dual Monitors
I use a dual screen setup and personally I find that it is ideal to keep the software on one screen (with the 2D and 3D windows tiled so I can see both views). Then I drag the Component manager and level manager windows onto my other screen and also use that to have reference images showing or my original artwork that the design is based on. You can also have a windows-explorer window too if you want to help see what files you have saved. For me that is the true value of the dual monitor setup.
One cool thing is that Aspire does take advantage of multiple processors, so the more cores you have the faster it will calculate
cheers,
James

Re: Dual Monitors
HI
After stretching the main Aspire window across the two monitors and arrangeing everything as i like it, will Aspire then remember it the next time i start up the program?
Or do i have to rearrange it all again, like when i pin the toolpath slider in VCP and restart the program, then I'll have to pin it again ?
Just wondering while I'm waiting for my DVD

Re: Dual Monitors
Glad to see that bugs somebody else!
Can we PLEASE PLEASE have a persistent "pin" of the toolpath pane?
