IDW Text Regen issue

I have been having problems with text regeneration in INV 6, in both the title block as well as the bill of materials. Have others been having this issue or is this a case of replacing the video card. Panning a drawing across my screen is almost painful. Any thoughts??

First of all, TRASH THE MATROX CARD!



To update the BOM, RMB on the BOM and select Update or double-click on the BOM and any yellow column means it needs updating. RMB on the column and choose update.



I haven't seen any trouble with my TB not updating. Can you be more specific as to what's not updating?

The text is all there. There is no issue with it disappearing. The issue come when wanting to pan a drawing or move the bill of materials, especially a very large BOM. When I run my cursor over the BOM, all the text turns from black to blue, but very slowly (kind of like typing on a typewriter, really). Once I move my cursor it starts from the beginning of the text and goes again.

Sounds like an issue with the video card.



Generally, there are 2 hardware no-no's to running IV...

No Matrox

No ATI
