Issue getting Inventor to recognize hardware drivers in VMware

edoardo_maglioQ7QB2 — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 11:48:13 GMT

As said by title i am running Inventor on a Win11 Arm distribution virtualized in VMware fusion pro and i cant get Inventor to recognize the graphic driver.

every time i open a project it tells me : software graphics mode has been activated and if i run hardware diagnostics within Inventor it recognize my driver is VMware Virtual SVGA 3D Graphics Adapter but it wont use it.

is there any way i can "force" Inventor to use graphics acceleration with this driver?

Hi! I am sorry I am not an expert on virtualization. But I do think there is a way to force VMware to use the particular GPU. It sounds that there are two GPUs in the virtual machine, though Inventor only uses one. You may want to google the following and see if you find the steps to designate a GPU to the virtual machine.

"assign GPU in VMware"

Many thanks!
