MY EYES! MY EYES!

While trying to use the "File" drop down menu and sometimes other tabbing, the window will literally close for 1/10 of a second or so then pop back open. Like a flicker effect. It's not only annoying as heck, if I were epileptic I'd be having seizures.

 

I searched for and found a solution from 2018. Here:https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/featurecam-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcart...

 

I did as suggested to no avail. I still have the flicker.

 

I also noticed that although I'm able to change the parameters, the software is changing it as well. My display resolution is 2560 x 1080, and I'll change it, but it gets changed to 2561 x 1081... Not much, but still I get the flicker.

Yeah, the flicker is annoying. I noticed it first in 2018. That article you attached is actually the first I've seen of that. I'll see if that helps on my end.

 

Outside of that, there's not a whole lot that can be done.

Crazy. I just tried that and it worked. That's awesome!

 

For reference, my monitor is 2560 x 1440. Setting it to that did not work, as it does not take into account the windows bar at the bottom. In my case, setting it to the available screen area of 2560 x 1400 DID work. Yay.

 

I'm not sure if your bottom task bar is also 40, but whatever it is, make sure you are subtracting that from the height.

Yeah, doesn't matter what I change it to, it still flickers.

And it seems every time I open it up, it's bumped up by one. Right now I'm at 2565 x 1085. The software keeps changing it.

This has been driving me crazy since it started. Mind you, I demo FeatureCAM, so...

 

I am constantly dragging FC from monitor to monitor, so hard-coding the EZFM file doesn't really work for me. I found that if I do not maximize FC, the flickering is reduced. I just drag the corners to nearly full screen size.

 

I hope this helps,

Chris
