Enforce selected graphics device for PCs with multiple graphics cards

For best performance when running RobotStudio on a PC with multiple graphics cards, RobotStudio can

be configured to use a specified device. By this option you can ensure maximum performance. This is

useful for e.g. Lenovo W540 that has both an integrated Intel graphics device and a discrete NVIDIA

card.

Open the file RobotStudio.exe.config that is located in the folders

C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\Robotics IT\RobotStudio x.y\Bin64

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\Robotics IT\RobotStudio x.y\Bin

and uncomment the line:

<add

key="GraphicsDeviceType"

value="Discrete"/>

Valid values are 'Discrete', 'Integrated' and 'Warp' (software renderer). Note that there are two different

files, one for the 32-bit version, and another for the 64-bit version.

Problems when undoing Boolean operations on Geometry

Undoing a Boolean operation might not succeed. To recover from these problems, you need to delete

the items that caused the problem.

ScreenMaker

Numeric controls and decimal separators

To use numeric controls in ScreenMaker on the PC set the decimal symbol to a single period ('.'). Other

decimal symbols are not supported and binding values will not work in the Virtual FlexPendant. The

behavior on the real FlexPendant is not affected by this PC setting.

Graphs on secondary screens

To use a Graph on a secondary screen (not the main screen) a custom action is needed. Otherwise, the

Graph will not be updated properly. In the ScreenForm that contains the Graph add a Load event. In this

event add an action using Add Action->Advanced->Call Custom Action. Select the Graph control and the

UpdateValues action.
