[To...] Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Whenever I go into CAD > Settings > View and change the Display Quality. If I close and re-open the program, the setting choice remains but the screen resolution does not stay. I have to go back into the settings and re-select the desired setting. Is there a way to have Calypso keep the selected settings active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think the only way is to save those settings as "System Settings" or Default them if that's what is called I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Am...] Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 This is super annoying, the settings itself save but the quality of the CAD goes back to a lower quality. For me its not even only when I start the program I will just notice after a while its back to looking blocky but the setting says high quality and you basically have to select it again. I've always chalked it up to possibly my PC not being great and something like a resource monitor lowering the resolution to give me a better performance but I don't believe that's it as I use Solid works on the same PC without trouble. At this point this is just another buggy thing in Calypso it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you zoom in, you will have to go back and activate the setting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 There was a time when this setting worked the way it was intended, many Calypso versions ago. But then they broke it and never fixed it again. I once called support and complained about it. All they said was that it only affects the wireframe lines (which is not true). My complaint obviously never made it to the software department - or they simply chose to ignore it, like so many other annoying little bugs. By the way, while most of the time the setting is only reset when you re-open a measurement plan, it also reverts to "worst quality possible" on an offline seat after you place the part on the CMM granite.

But at the same time that makes it almost useless because i don't think I stay at one zoom for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah. I tend to zoom in, set it to high, and then you can zoom out and it should look fine. It will only start to get choppy if you zoom way farther in. In addition, if you are working with tiny parts, it's going to look choppy either way.

[Me...] Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ahh sorry Tom, I understand what you're talking about now. Like a previous response, I remember a time where this wasn't an issue if you zoomed in and set the quality to high, it wouldn't reset the quality by zooming or reopening the program. The German's lost this battle plenty of versions ago lol. It's definitely an annoyance with convoluted models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 A lot of those cad setting don't stick, even when you add them to a template program. I know that clearance distance doesn't stick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Tom, do you think it's worth renaming the thread into something like: "[Bug for Carl to react to] Keeping CAD settings"? Probably not, I also just look forward to get this fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
