7. Autodesk - ADI 4.2 Display Drivers
36
Note:
TurboDLD
Classic only provides still rendering support for 3D Studio.
TurboDLD
Classic does not play back rendered .FLI or .FLC files. This is a limitation of
3D Studio. The Mapping Icon colors, which are usually yellow and green, appear as
black when using any external ADI driver. Also, 3D Studio has problems with large
fonts. It is recommended that you use the default font settings.
CONFIGURING AVE RENDER
AutoCAD 12's AVE Render uses TurboDLD
Classic's rendering capabilities to render
objects and drawings. The processes for first time configuration of AVE Render and for
reconfiguration are discussed in the following topics.
AVE Render First Time Configuration
If AVE Render has never been configured, you are forced to run through the
configuration process when you first select the AutoCAD render command. You are
prompted as follows.
1. Select a Rendering Display Device. Since TurboDLD
Classic is a combined
display/rendering device, choose item 1, P386 ADI Combined Display/Rendering
Driver, from the available choices.
2. Configure the Rendering Graphics Board and Resolution:
a. The TurboDLD
Classic configuration program appears on the screen. Press the
[Enter]
key to continue past the help screen and display the Rendering
Configuration menu.
b. Choose Select Graphics Board/Resolution to display graphics board and
resolution menu selections.
c. Choose Select Render Graphics Board to select the graphics board to be used
for renderings.
d. Choose Select Render Resolution to select the desired rendering resolution
from the list of available choices.
e. Select Return to Previous Menu.
f.
Select Save and Exit.
3. Select Render Mode, then select the rendering mode for TurboDLD
Classic. Select
either Render to Viewport or Render to Screen, depending on how you wish to
view your renderings. Note that in order to render to a viewport you must be using a
display resolution of at least 256 colors. Otherwise, AVE Render does not allow a
render to viewport selection.
