3D Surface Plot Cursor Error

[J Mazzetta]

I can't seem to get the cursor(s) to function on the 3D Surface Plot. I right-click on the front panel plot, go to properties, and select cursor - but then I get an error and LabVIEW crashes. Has anybody had any sucess with this? I've tried it in both LabVIEW 6.1 and 7.1

Hi,

I have used the cursors in the 3D graph a couple of times with no problem. There are a couple of advices that I can give. Place the 3D graph strait form the pallet, do not create an ActiveX container and add the 3D graph. Open one of the 3D examples and see if you can add the cursors to a graph that was previously created. You can also try to unregister and reregister the ActiveX control for the 3D graph to make sure that the OS registers the control correctly. You can find the ActiveX control in the system32 folder (cw3dGraph.ocx) and here is a document on how to register the control.

I'm also including here an example that uses cur
sors, see if you can open it and run it. The second attachment is a style file for that 3D graph that includes a cursor. You can load this file by right-clicking on the graph and select "Import Style..". Hopefully you'll be able to load the style and start to work from there.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
