A customer upgraded their PCs to XP with Exceed -3d version 9.0 to connect to
Sun UltraSparc III servers, where they run Ansys 9.0.

Under X11 models all seems okay. When running /show,3d (using OpenGL) we find that when they try to rotate
the model around the x or y screen axis, the axis of rotation is displaced. The displacement is relative to the model, not the screen.
Curiously, rotation around the screen z axis works fine as does translation left, right and in and out.
If the model fills the screen it whizzes off the edge. If you zoom out far enough, the model can be seen to rotate around
the displaced axis.

Is there a fix for this?


The customer had Exceed 7.1 and it worked fine there. Comparing the settings between the two we found that Exceed 7.1 had hardware acceleration turned off. After turning off hardware acceleration in Exceed 9, the graphics behaved normal.
