Hello @FrankEagle ,

I hope this message finds you well. Couple of things to double check.

1) Go into Preferences > Electronics and make sure Detect board shape is checked.

2)You can try disabling GPU rendering to see if that changes anything Preferences > Electronics > Misc

Let me know if you continue to run into problems

Best Regards,

Hello @jorge_garcia,

Detect board shape was already enabled, I've disabled GPU rendering and updated Fusion to 2.0.16009, after a reboot the problem is still there.

Regards

Hi @FrankEagle,

I hope you're doing well. Do you have a board outline in the design? If you try with other designs are you still unable to see the preview?

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Yes the board outline is on Layer 20 Dimensions.

Also with other designs it doesn't work anymore.

Hi @FrankEagle,

I hope you're doing well. This has me stumped. If it's no working with other designs, I would believe that maybe a reinstallation would solve it.

By any chance have you changed layer colors or changed the layer configuration in any way? I'm wondering if maybe a color change could be at play.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi @FrankEagle , @jorge_garcia ,

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble.

Could you please check the color preferences for Electronics? Because there is a known issue that CAM Preview is in black if the selected light them board has dark background. The workaround is to make the light board in white color.

We have put a fix in the Insider build for May release about this. If you are interested in this fix in advance, please kindly join in the insider program to try it. Thanks!

Hope it helps.

Hi @HelenChen-AutodeskQA and @jorge_garcia,

Selecting white as light board color makes the preview visible again.

Thank you.
