I have build 667 of SP4

Is this the latest build ?

Did anything get announced ?

667 has several annoyances .. including a serious one concerning flickery graphics

There is still no help for several of the tools

And the tool cursor is missing from the measuring tool

Scott was going to send me a link to a newer build - but I guess he won't be doing that now

Is there a bugfix for the bugfix that is SP4 ?

seems this may be graphics card specific

if anyone has an original Mac Book Pro 2.0 .. could you please try this:

shaded mode .. big model .. rotate or pan model .. watch for major graphics artifacts at screen top .. where segments of top 30 mm of screen are momentarily repeated in next 30 mm when rotating with viewball or panning with spacebar

Note: I dont see this at all in Shark

Thanks

Hi Jol

I am using a MacBook Pro 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB Ram, OS10.4.10. I just downloaded CU V4 SP4 build 668 from the UK site (didn't get any updates from Punch USA, the US site is still on 664, if I am not wrong).

I cannot reproduce the video problems you mentioned. When you say big model, do you mean file size? How big is big?

Cheers

Hi Alexander

Nick had someone repeat it .. it only happens with MBPros with ATI X1600

maybe others

Tim is no doubt working tirelessly to provide a fix

ahem

Hello Alexander

I think you've just provided the last piece of the jigsaw. I think the issue is specific to ATI graphics in MacBook Pro & iMac running Leopard unless anyone has experienced this issue on different hardware / operating system combination? If this is the case then perhaps a fix may need to come from Apple if it's a display driver issue?

All the best
Nick

I don't see that - Shark works just fine for me - also with Leopard !
