Summary: Vectorworks 2010: Drawing area doesn't show objects
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.4
          Platform: x86

                    a327ea9611c8cfb6f4863ce2b2a9
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: conny@sat.ax
I'm trying to get the cadprogram Vectorworks 2010 (VW) run with Wine. So far I
have succeed in getting the program installed and to start up with a plain Wine
installation in PClinuxOS 2010. To get the toolboxes and everything look normal
I had to install GDI+ (gdiplus) via Winetricks.
However the drawing area is still messed up after this even if the toolboxes
look fine. On one computer with an ATI Radeon HD 4550 graphic card the drawing
area is showing a colorful noisy pixel view (hard to explain), and on my Laptop
with an ATI X1200 graphic card the drawing area is black. Even if I can't see
what I´m drawing it´s possible to draw lines etc and save the file, the object
are there when I open the file with VW in Windows.
I noticed the ATI cards were not working good so I tried this:
First I noticed the motherboard an Intel® Desktop Board DG35EC is equipped with
an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3500 on board graphics subsystem. So I
took out the ATI 4550HD card and started up PCLOS with the Intel on board card.
Now VW starts up and looks ok and the drawing area is white as it should be
(not noisy or black), but when drawing something like a line it only shows
while being drawn and then when finishing it disappears. I can mark/select it,
but I can't see the line only the handles for resizing etc. I also tried to
change colors but nothing helps. I also opened a saved drawingfile which opens
fine but the drawing area shows nothing unless I hower over objects with the
mouse and mark them. I can use all kind of tools and rendering settings, the
program will not crash but I can't see anything.
The second test is with a NVidia 7900GS card I found in another computer. I
started up with it and I've got the same result as described above.
The lines width is around 0,25 mm, not 0. I also tried with fills but nothing
is seen, not even the opengl mode where everything should be rendered. Also I
can see the line while drawing it, but when ending the command the line
disappears.
I have seen that VW 2008 got gold status after installing GDI+. After that the
3D modeling engine has changed in VW2009 to Parasolid 3D modeling kernel built
by Siemens PLM. I don't know if this can have something to do with the problem.
