GiD forum

Dear Miguel,
I'm using GiD 7.2, demo version.
In my notebook when i assign materials or conditions to the object and then i want that GiD draws them, pushing "draw" an error window appears and GiD is closed. This event happens also in my computer when i try to create **.jpeg format of the object with the assigned materials.
Best regards,
Calogero

1) If only crash drawing material in your notebook, it can be a graphic card problem.

This is the content of a related Help-F.A.Q: I try to open GiD by the first time on MS Windows and it crashes

Tipically, these type of problems are caused by the graphics acceleration card.

A possibility to avoid the problem is the following:
Try to start GiD safe mode (from the start menu) and activate use Software OpenGL

If the problem persists, try to deactivate the graphic hardware acceleration
(Screen properties-Advanced options).
Also try a different colour resolutions (select 32 bits of colour for example)
Search in the web page of your card if there are actualized drivers for your graphic card.

2) Update to the last GiD 7.4.3b version (only available now for Windows).
