the latest fix seems to have worked for me as well...no crashes yet since the Invidea Driver update

thanks guys will try those ideas

When I open a model made in 2012 on older laptop on new laptop in X12 or X13 the artwork in picture frames or on a tv etc does not come through and it shows blank. Is there a way to make that artwork all transfer with the plan? I notice Cultured stone the manufacturer changed stuff up and they dont transfer either but thats a manufacturer / new owner change I believe. Thanks for any insight

second monitor seems to be worse for me as well

Thats my issue older plans trying to use in 13. For now I only open older files in x12 until they hopefully find a fix

Got mine about 2 months ago... really sweet...only thing i dont love is the keyboard without specific numbers pad... but minor

I recently bought and am so far very happy with... Alienware X17 R1 Laptop Intel i7 4.6 GHz & 32GB ram, NVIDEA RTX 3080 seems to run the PBR ray trace pretty well . it doesnt have a numbers pad due to fans required to cool it so keyboard take a bit of getting used to but not a big issue

Thanks. I dont have x8 still on mine. X10 is oldest. I havent had need for anything older in a few years as far as I can think of so hopefully it wont be an issue for me. Appreciate the feedback

Thanks guys Thats what I thought but wanted to be sure

Looking at my hard drive I am beginning to run out of space especially if I want to download x13 on my older laptop. As I started looking into what I can delete I see I have X10, X11 and X12 all on the list of installed programs and in the program data files I have large Program data files for X8 through X12 with Just under 80 GB taken up by program data files for X8-X11. Is there any reason to not uninstall X10 and X11 and delete the Program data files from X8-X11 ? I am assuming all needed data was transferrred into the next version as new versions came out but wanted to be sure Im not missing something.. I'm still using X12 and will for a bit until plans started in 12 are finished and I have a chance to explore 13. Thanks for any help

I set up most all drawings on 24"x36" and send those out to be printed but my office oversized printer/ photo printer will print up to 13"x19" so when I print on 12"x18" sheets for check sets they are printed at 1/8" scale. Its much better than having prints not to scale. Its just 12x18 is not a paper you find in stores much so I order online. Heres a a link . https://www.officesupply.com/office-supplies/paper-pads/printer-paper/wide-format-paper/hammermill-copy-paper-brightness-photo-white-sheets-ream/p60910.html?q=12 x 18 copy paper

Thanks, Thats also another way I can use... great minds!

Thanks, I will keep in mind. he seems to have figured it out. he was clicking on the link each time and it was trying to download each time. he signed up and saved the model to his acount and now can open it up when he wants.

So I tried using or having a client download and use the 3d viewer for the first time. I uploaded his project model and in general it uploaded ok.. took a while. It did have 5-7 issues of materials / textures not uploading or compatible etc as it loaded.. mostly referred to items ( i assume models ) from earlier versions like 8 or 9. Sent him the link and he had downloaded the viewer on his android phone. The first time he tried it the model worked and he said it was a pretty good look and didnt notice textures missing as far as he could tell. He said it took up 5-6 gb of ram on his phone( 12 gb) but it worked pretty well. Today when he tried opening it again ( using same link) it gets stuck on obtaining the model. Anyone have this happen ? any thoughts ? did it download to his phone and he need to open it through file and not go back to the link ? He downloaded the viewer on some higher end stuff at his work and could get sample models to work but not my upload. He put it on a desk top and gets an out of memory error . Any thoughts ?
