<h2> Swap Files
|

</h2>
|
|
</a><a name="491999">
|
|
<p>When working with large model files, Visual Modeler runs faster
|
|
with a permanent swap file. You can set this from the Windows
|
|
Control Panel. If Visual Modeler reports "low memory" during normal
|
|
operation, increase the size of permanent virtual memory.

<h2> Video Cards and Drivers
|
|
</h2>
|
|
</a><a name="492001">
|
|
<p>Visual Modeler was tested with a number of video cards and drivers.
|
|
The Diamond Viper Pro Video card
|
|
required the driver be updated to driver 3.5 v1.2 on Windows
|
|
NT. If you experience display problems with other video card
|
|
and driver combinations, check with the video card vendor to
|
|
see if an updated driver is available that may correct the
|
|
problem.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</a><a name="492002">
|
|
<p>Visual Modeler uses the current font size, among other factors, to
|
|
determine the optimal size of a class icon when autosizing it. If
|
|
your video driver supports large and small fonts, you may
|
|
notice that a class that was autosized and saved with small
|
|
fonts does not appear autosized correctly when read in using
|
|
large fonts, and vice-versa. You can correct this by either:
|
|
</p>
|
|
</a><ul><a name="492003">
|
|
<li>Choosing <kbd><b>Tools</b></kbd> > <kbd><b>Autosize All</b></kbd> to resize all icons on a diagram
|
|
|
|
</a><a name="492004">
|
|
<li>Toggling <kbd><b>Edit</b></kbd> > <kbd><b>Diagram Object Properties</b></kbd> > <kbd><b>Automatic Resize</b></kbd> off and back on to
|

autosize selected icons

<h2> Printers and Printer Drivers

</h2>

<p>If you experience printing problems with other printer and
|
|
driver combinations, check with the printer vendor to see if an

|
updated driver is available that may correct the problem.

<h2> Windows 95 Mouse Driver
|
|
</h2>
|
|
</a><a name="492017">
|
|
<p>The <code><b>EM_EXEC.exe</b></code> mouse driver file on some
|
|
Windows 95 PCs-especially laptops-that interferes with
|
|
Visual Modeler. (The typical symptom is a crash while you are
|
|
entering a class name directly on a class diagram, but Visual Modeler
|
|
may also crash at other times with varying frequency.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
</a><a name="492018">
|
|
<p>This mouse driver file must be deleted or renamed for Visual Modeler to
|
|
function properly:
|
|
</p>
|
|
</a><ol>
|
|
<a name="492019">
|
|
<li>Start your PC in command prompt mode. (Press <kbd><b>F5</b></kbd> during
|
|
boot and select command prompt start.)
|
|
|
|
</a><a name="492020">
|
|
<li>Go to the <code><b>C:\mouse\system</b></code> directory.
|
|
|
|
</a><a name="492021">
|
|
<li>Delete or rename the file <code><b>EM_EXEC.exe</b></code>. This should <em>not</em>
|
|
impact any Windows 95 performance.
|
|
|
|
</a><a name="492022">
|
|
<li>Do a normal reboot.
|
|
|
|
</a></ol>
|
|
</p>
|
|
</a><a name="492023">
|
|
<p>To install a newer version of the driver, which does not interfere
|
|
with Visual Modeler:
|
|
</p>
|
|
</a><ol>
|
|
<a name="492024">
|
|
<li>Contact Logitech to get an update. The update can be found
|
|
at <CODE><B>ftp://ftp.logitech.com/TechSupport/MOUSE</B></CODE>.
|
|
The name of the file is <CODE><B>mw7aol.exe</B></CODE>,
|
|
May 3, 1996 101k.
|
|
|
|
</a><a name="492025">
|
|
<li>When you execute that file, it will be expanded into several
|
|
other files, including a later version of <CODE><B>EM_EXEC.exe</B></CODE>
|
|
which should work together with Visual Modeler.
|
|
|
|
</a></ol>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Another mouse product that may interfere with Visual Modeler is
|
|
the Microsoft IntelliMouse, which comes with a mouse driver called
|
|
<CODE><B>Point32.exe</B></CODE>.
|
|
To solve this problem, bring up the task list in Windows and end
|
|
the task called "point32".</P>
