3d graph blank in Labview 6.0.3, why?

[Stu@TCD]

I was able to run an application with a 3d graph when running LV 5.1. However, I don't seem to be able to see a three D graph now that I am running LV6.0.3. Can't even get the NI supplied 3D graph examples to display a graph. Graph just remians blank.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers

... just a guess,
because you mentioned 6.0.3, my idea is that you're using LV Real-Time where ActiveX functionality is not implemented (What are the programming differences between LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time?).

good Luck

Hi all

in response to my query yesterday regarding blank 3dGraphs, Daniel harding, one of the engineers at NI sent me this. His workaround solved the problem.

After doing some research, I uncovered a known issue with LabVIEW RT 6.0.3
