Error: Impossible to draw the node in 3D

Error message on creating a new connection in PowerConnect.

Solution

Your computer probably contains more than one graphical card. You can check the amount of graphical card using the Device Manager (NL: Apparaatbeheer) of Windows. Asign the internal graphical card to PowerConnect by following these steps:

• • Click with the right mouse button on the desktop and open the NVIDIA control panel.
    
  • Go to Manage 3D setttings > tab page Program settings.
    
  • Click on the button Add.
    Browse to the folder C:\Program Files\BuildSoft\PowerConnec 202x.
    Select the PowerConnect.exe and hit Open.
    
  • Set the graphical processor to the “internal graphical card” and hit ‘Apply’.
    
  • Start PowerConnect and check if the problem is solved.
  • If it is not solved, repeat the steps but select the NVIDIA card instead.

• 1. Close PowerConnect
  2. Right click with mouse on desktop and click ‘Properties’
  3. Go to page ‘Settings’ → ‘Advanced’
  4. Go to page ‘Troubleshoot’
  5. Move hardware acceleration to the left: about 50% or less
  6. Try PowerConnect again. If it still does not work, repeat 1-2-3 and move hardware acceleration more to the left. The optimal value depends on your graphic card.
