even or odd...

[Jerry]

I have read in this group how others using the FX500 card have no problem using realview. My company just upgraded to SWX2004 and I can not get realview to work at all. The icon and menu selection are greyed out. I installed the 43.51 drivers for Win2000 and it didn't change a thing. I am using a Compaq with a 2.53GHz processor and 1 gig of ram. Is there a setting that I missed that will enable this feature to work? Thanks.

Must be video cards by Nvidia (and only certian ones), what do you have?

Opps, missed the FX500. I'm using a Geforce 4 TI4600 hacked to a Quadro4 900 XGL. I have full realview. I've noticed I must select realview while editing material properties in the dialog box. Then the realview button is toggleable.

as long as it is a quadro card then it should work... I run a PNY Quadro fx500 & realview works just fine for me.

1. Make sure that you are not in large assembly mode. If you are you can turn on the ability to have real view graphics in large assembly in tools options.

2. check that you are not in software open GL mode.

3. check to make sure you installed the solidworks shaders. You can verify this by looking in your solidworks install folder for two folders called "shaders" & "shaders_soft" collectively they should be about 418 megs. Then again there could be a chance that they may have been broken & you may have to run a repair on them. OR at least run a modify on the solidworks install & remove them & then readd them.

Hope that helps

Thanks,

When I edit materials, the advanced graphics box is checked and underneath it the RealView option is greyed out and unselectable so it reverts to the standard option. I was thinking that I might have a setting wrong either in the graphic cards properties or the Solidworks option since other people are using RealView with the FX500 card without any problems..............

is there a way to determine if a number is even or odd... i want to have my routine do one thing if the number is even and another if it is odd...

 

[Tom Smith]

(zerop (rem n 2)) ?

 

[michael puckett]

Take your pick:

(defun IsEven ( x )
(zerop (rem x 2))
)

(defun IsEven ( x )
(/= 1 (logand x 1))
)

etc ...

is there a way to determine if a number is even or odd... i want to have my routine do one thing if the number is even and another if it is odd...

 

[aaron weissner]

thanks...

 

[michael puckett]

You're welcome. If you search the ngs I think you'll find versions more elegant than these two ... Tony, Doug etc. usually come up with ridiculously elegant / succinct functions.

thanks...

Also, make sure you have a current driver for the FX500 and the advanced display setup states you have the proper card with driver.

Not every Quadro will work. I remember seeing a list somewhere, but I don't remember where. Too bad I can't remember.

 

[Tom Smith]

Well, you could do

(defun evenp (num)
(zerop (logand 1 num)))

but that's no more succint than the first test suggested.. You can get a 1 or 0 test result from boole, rem, or logand, but I don't know a way other than zerop to translate that to the desired t or nil return.

Okay, here is the deal as far as I see it. When you installed solidworks you did not have a realview card, so realview was not installed (Yes it is an OPTION). So what you need to do is insert your solidworks cd and do a modify (Windows installer) and do a custom. Select realview as one of the options (it will be listed with the items like Toolbox, Routing, Moldbase...

That should take care of your problem...
