Hello, I have a problem with the display. When I click on a surface or anywhere in solidworks(that isnt a button), I get this weird problem which makes a copy of the screen and jumps in a layer. It returns to normal after clicking randomly at different places, but creates new layers when I click again. Its impossible to work like this.
Is this a known issue, if so is there any fix for it?
Your link does not work for me for some reason. I have tried disabling my Intel HD graphics through the device manager. However, I then lose 1 of my external monitors.
Does Solidworks run fine on the other external monitor(when disabling Intel graphics)?
I am having the same issue on my new Dell 7510 laptop with nvidia M1000M. My computer is only doing this when on extended display(s), not the laptop screen. Please follow up if you find something that fixes it, I have been trying many things with no luck yet.
It seems to be a problem when I connect my laptop to an external PC-display. When I use the laptop-display it seems to be fine.
I cant disable intel graphics from bios. And when disabling it from control panel, the nvidia graphics card wont turn on it seems.
I guess I have to work on the laptop screen then.
I found another thread with a fix that worked on my system! Re: Graphics hiccup using SW2016 SP2 on Surface Pro 3
By doing what Tom suggested, I don't get the window duplication! Here are the instructions he provided:
Another is to RMB on the SOLIDWORKS application icon, open Properties, and check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" on the Compatibility tab. This will disable Windows from trying to scale each display differently, and SOLIDWORKS will use the display scale setting for whichever display the application is opened on.
Awesome, it worked! Thanks
Hi Erlen,
I would try to disable the Intel HD graphics (and reinstall the quadro driver).
