Active X cwgraph 3d Caption wont face camera

[deskpilot]

I am using the CWGraph 3D, and cannot get the property to work that should make the axes caption face the camera.  I can right click the graph in edit time to get the property dialog box up, and choose: orientation-face camera, but this doesn't do anything.  I tried setting it at run time with the CaptionOrientationStyle property set to cwAxisTextFaceCamera, but this also doesn't do anything.  The captions always stay fixed.  I have another software, called JMP, that appears to use the same ActiveX graph, and within that program I can make the captions face the camera by choosing the appropriate settings within their GUI.

Any ideas?

Greetings;

When you say having the captions face the camera, do you mean having them in the correct "order" or having the captions always be flush against the screen, so to speak? From what I understand, the Fixed vs Face Camera only should change the order of the letters and avoid you looking at the letters from behind, as per the attached screenshot.

Is that what you see as well, or does the Fixed vs Face Camera not change anything at all? Regardless, I will look around and inform myself as to whether that is indeed the expected behaviour (I must admit I had personally not used the CWGraphs before)

Cordially;

Simon,

Thanks for the reply.  I realize now that the Face Camera does as your example describes.  I was thinking that Face Camera would cause the caption to always be perpendicular to the camera view.  The very similar looking graph within JMP does this, so I was just assuming I would be able to do the same thing inside of Labview.  It appears I cannot.
