Strange artifact with 400mm long Pad

Post by OldDraftsman »

This may just be strange just to my setup, but I have checked the FC-file on two i5 Ubuntu-16.04 laptops. Both do the same. Attached the file and a pic. Just Pan the object around.

At Pad lengths of 200mm, the artifact is just becoming apparent, at 400mm it takes over. Something I am doing? or ... :)

OK, thanks Willem, is that a feature? If a Dev is watching, a call to screen.refresh(); or btnFitClick(Sender); might be nice. :)

The screen refresh needs some work. When I click for a new Body, any underlying parts on the screen suddenly get zoomed to about 10 x full size.

It maybe a Ubuntu video driver issue, but I have tried it on two different brand, make and model laptops and still does the big zoom thing, but I digress.
