Hey everyone (especially support),

I am in preparation to take part at a university class which requires me to use Solidworks 2013 with Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro (Intel Iris Graphics 6100).

Currently my status:

"Software OpenGL" is enabled but grey

The rendering is too slow for following the course!

My Goal:

Testing "hardware OpenGL" with Solidworks 2013 with non offical supported graphic card (Intel Iris Graphics 6100).

What I tryed:

  • Changing resolution and colors best I could do (but it wasn't possible to switch to 16 Bit color mode for this application).
  • Using RegEdit to find a way to switch software OpenGL off for Solidworks 2013 (didn't found a valid option)

My concrete question:

How can I force Solidworks 2013 to use hardware OpenGL also if this is not official supported ?

Hope I find a solution until Thursday (day before the course), because I have to exit that lecture due to non working equipment :-( ... (I hate this Idea !)

Please help :-)
