X3 Auto Highlight Issue

How to Fix the Auto Highlight Issue

After exiting the Verify in X3, the Auto Highlight function may stop working properly. There are a couple workarounds and one fix for the problem that you can use until the issue is addressed in the next Maintenance Update.

Toggle Shading On/Off

• Use the key combination Alt+S twice to toggle the shading on/off
  
• If this procedure does not work, proceed to the next
  
• Use the "Regenerate Display List" function
  
• From the Screen menu, choose Regenerate Display List
  
• Optionally you can click the toolbar icon for Regenerate Display List
  
• If neither of the above procedures help, proceed to the fix below
  

Fix: Disabling the hardware acceleration in Verify

• From the Settings menu select Configuration
  
• In the topics list select expand out the Verify Interface topic and select Verify Settings
  
• On the Verify Settings page check the Disable Hardware Acceleration option
  
• Save your configuration changes and restart Mastercam for the changes to take effect
  

While the Fix is a more permanent solution than the first two workarounds, it is important to note that X3 introduced some speed improvements to the Verify. Disabling this hardware acceleration will disable the new changes and will cause the Verify to act as it did in X2. If the speed of Verify is important to you, our recommendation is to use one of the workarounds until this issue has been resolved in a Maintenance Update.
