How to set to DirectX 10 or 9?

Anonymous

I get graphics display errors when I try to use Fusion 360.  I'm running Windows 7 on a computer with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 (256 Mb) graphics card capable of DirectX 10.  When I ran the "graphics diagnostics", it said, "

  1. If your graphics card is old and doesn't support DirectX 11 well, you may switch to use DirectX 9 through the Graphics Driver option in Fusion 360 preference dialog."

When I go to Preferences, I see a "Graphics" section, but no "Graphics Driver", and I can't find DirectX in any of the preferences.  Maybe because I'm a teacher, logged in with my educator's account, is this only an option on professional versions?

 

Any other way to set it to DirectX 10 or lower, or any other way to stop getting these errors?
