Hello, I have a strange Problem with the 3D viewer. I am using KiCad 5.1.x (failure is always the same) with Linux Mint 19.x and a NVIDIA9600GT.
Everything is running just fine and the 3D viewer works perfectly for me with modern canvas and HW-Acceleration !
I face this problem with NVIDIA legacy driver and nuveau driver :
When I export the 3D view as a picture everything seems to work. But the picture is very distorted and contains only one corner of the view. Sometimes an elongated part of the PCB is visible. It depends on how the PCB fills the view.
I may add Pictures to this post … But has anyone else encountered this ?
Hi Chris, never experienced that.
The only issue for me is that Copy to clipboard is not working…
Would you like to create an issue with that information and generated image on gitlab ?
I know nothing about how to create issues and gitlab (my employer even blocks gitlab). I think I will create 2 pictures (3D -> PNG) and add them to this post to give a better impression.
I fear, this is some strange combination of my HW and Kicad. Otherwise this should be already known and you should be able to reproduce this easily. I hoped, this might be a n already known but not urgent issue …
You need to register on gitlab and add a post, similar as you did here with this information on this link:
Click “New issue”
That is the proper way of reporting a bug on KiCad. If you write it here, nobody (from the development workflow perspective) will care
I’m sorry to hear that you work on such conditions!
Hi,
yesterday I installed 5.1.6 and the Problem is gone ! Unfortunately I forgot to test immediately BEFORE the update to be sure I did not change something else in between. In any case this seems to be solved ! Greetings !
Greetings !
