Capture / Allegro V17.4 Issues

Kenneth Wood

Hi all, I would like to get a thread going for people using V17.4 in order to discuss issues with the software.

I'm seeing quite a few bugs / issues with V17.4 Capture and Allegro. I've submitted multiple CCR's, some minor issues have been addressed but other ones have not.

For ex. How many of you are seeing a blinking in Capture when double clicking text or labels? How many of you use dual monitors and have a mouse wheel pan issue in Allegro when Allegro is on monitor 2?

I have videos of my issues and will make more soon.

Please reply with software issues you are seeing, not enhancements but real issues that weren't there in V17.2

Regards

Ken

    Steve, Thank you for the reply but my mouse pointer already has that option disabled. I do not see this issue on V17.2 which I still have installed. This only happens on Allegro V17.4 and no other program I own.

    Thank you for the reply, I have already had that variable set...no help. I love the monitors, not sure if they needed to be 4K but when you buy a high end monitor that's what you're going to get from Dell anyways... Thanks for the calc compliment Slight smile

    I'll take a look at the env file and the disabling of the start screen. I do not use full cursor though and this does not happen of V17.2. Have you noticed a lag in moving a copper pour outline?

    I should point out that the issue is not just the mouse cursor but the Allegro system actually pans to the right by a lot and I have to zoom way out to find my PCB.

    No lag noticed moving copper pours or outlines. Looks to be very fluid here in 17.4 provided I don't use the Full Screen Cursor Slight smile

    I will dig into capture and see if I can replicate what you posted in the video, Might get lucky

    All the best.
