True colour popup dialog box

lmc.engineering · ‎01-31-2018

Hi All,

I've hit a bit of an issue with my current project, which to very briefly explain, involves running Inventor on a virtual machine and launching an iLogic/VBA routine automatically using task scheduler. The issue I am hitting is a very simple, yet highly annoying:

The virtual machine has very little in the way of Graphic hardware, which is fine for what I need to do, however, whenever I launch Inventor, it insists on telling me that Inventor runs better in 'True colour' mode, which I understand the reasons, but unfortunately I cannot switch to true colour. The issue comes with the fact that I am informed via a pop up dialog box to which I have to manually click the 'OK' button. For obvious reasons, this defeats the whole purpose of automating a process as I cannot progress the routine due to this little annoying window. Surely I can't be foiled by one simple pop up!? In short, is there a way of turning this off, or bypassing it in some way?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi! Do you mind showing the exact dialog you are talking about? In the meantime, you may want to change Hardware option to see if it goes away. Go to Tools -> Application Options -> Hardware -> Conservative mode.

Many thanks!

Hi,

In typical fashion, we've managed to get a work around for this now, which means I no longer get the dialog.. I should have screen shot really before moving on. Our server support service has done something or other, I'm not 100% sure what they did, but all seems ok now. If the issue re-occurs I'll be sure to screen shot and post.

Never the less, thanks for your time.
