**Important - Inventor 10.0 Installation**

Hi All,

In Autodesk Inventor® 10, with the introduction of functionality based on
Microsoft .NET tools, many of the graphics card drivers need to be updated.

Graphics Requirements Before Installation
a.. Graphics card and driver information can be found at:
http://www.autodesk.com/us/inventor/graphic_cards/
a.. Crash on file open/new with NVIDIA graphics cards: Inventor R10 will
crash or have other fatal problems when creating the first graphics window
using a Nvidia driver between 6.14.10.5214 and 6.14.10.6722 . (6.14.10.5214
good < Bad driver versions < good 6.14.10.6722) R9 will see this problem if
all addins are enabled. R8 may see it with third party addins. All drivers
in the range between these two drivers have been rated RED - Do not use.
Inventor will switch to GDI Generic emulation mode for these drivers.
a.. ATI graphics cards: For Inventor 10, the "Autodesk Inventor" setting has
some serious problems, especially when using the "Content Center" or
"Autodesk Inventor Studio". The default setting is even worse. Testing with
driver package version 8.083... (6.14.10.6497) or 8.103... (6.14.10.6521)
has shown that the AutoCAD application setting does not have these problems.
All ATI drivers have been changed to a yellow (information) setting. When
using the AutoCAD setting the driver is rated Green.
a.. Laptops with ATI graphics: If "Enable POWERPLAY(tm)" is checked,
graphics hardware acceleration is lost when running on battery power.
Inventor reverts to software emulation to run the graphics.
a.. Matrox: At this time. Matrox does not have a working driver for Autodesk
Inventor® Professional 10 Products. Matrox drivers are rated Yellow
(information) as they still work with Autodesk Inventor® Series.
a.. Modern workstation graphics cards require 32-bit color (true color) to
enable hardware acceleration. The performance of Autodesk Inventor® depends
on the graphics card hardware acceleration. For additional information about
hardware issues and tips, explore this site:
