This AutoCAD system variable (Display Silhouette) doesn't seam to work in ProgeCAD. Is there something similar I can use in ProgeCAD?
Hi colpal,
DISPSILH seems to work on some cards when you re-shade the screen, and only with 3D solids (not wire mesh objects it seems). Remember that progeCAD 3D graphics are not quite as advanced as those in AutoCAD, so here is an example of what you can do:
Here is a basic solid 3D sphere drawn in progeCAD Professional:
Set DISPSILH to ON and run the SHADE command (notice the 3D silhouette outline IS displayed):
If you engage realtime rotation using CTRL+LMB you may need to (R)edraw and SHADE again to see the silhouette once more.
Related variables supported by progeCAD 2010 are facetres isolines and viewres.
