artifacts. Testing has shown that NVIDIA provides good drivers for its Geforce2 and
beyond Graphics Processing Units (GPU). ATI GPU-based and Matrox graphic cards
often seem to have OpenGL problems with their driver GPU combinations. Cards
with double-buffered overlay planes (such as the Wildcat cards) have an advantage
because highlighting can be done without having to do saves and restores, which may
benefit performance in specific cases. In order to obtain better graphic performance
with SmartPlant 3D, make the following setting for ATI, NVIDIA, and 3Dlabs
graphics cards:
On ATI FireGL video cards, right-click on the desktop and select

Properties > Settings > Advanced. On the Configuration tab, create a
new configuration profile called SmartPlant 3D. After this configuration
profile is created, select the SmartPlant 3D profile, select Modify and then
check the Force copy swap box.
On NVIDIA GeForce cards, right-click on the desktop and select

Properties > Settings > Advanced. On the NVIDIA Card tab, select
OpenGL Settings in the Performance and Quality Settings section. In
the dialog box that appears, change the Buffer-Flipping Mode selection
to Use block transfer, and then and click OK.
On 3Dlabs Realizm cards, right-click on the desktop and select Properties

> Settings > Advanced. On the 3Dlabs Card tab, select OpenGL and
change the Buffer Swap Mode selection to Force Swap Copy, and then
click OK.

installation.
3
When creating drawing borders or embedded reports within the Drawings and
Reports task on computers with Microsoft Office XP or Office 2003, you must
modify the security settings in Excel to allow Visual Basic projects to run. To change
this setting, open Excel, and select Tools > Macros > Security. On the Trusted
Sources tab, select Trust access to Visual Basic Project. This setting must be
modified before you update drawings and generate the report(s) within it.
Important
Do not skip any restarts recommended by the system. Doing so can have
unintended consequences.
Other users who want to perform different tasks in the overall plant design workflow
might need additional software, such as Visual Basic 6.0 and Unigraphics Solid Edge
Version 16. Additionally, if you intend to reference or export PDS projects, you
must install the appropriate PDS add-in. The PDS data reference and export add-ins
are delivered in PDS version-specific folders on the product CD.
Note
This version of the software supports PDS 8.0 or higher.
PDS software and all of its prerequisite software are also required in order
to use the PDS integration functionality.
Special Consideration for Non-English Locales

The system language specified for Microsoft Office must be the same as the system
language specified by the operating system. For example, if your operating system
