OSX Yosemite , toolpath preview not displayed

Hi

I encounter a problem with S3D on OSX.
Gcode 3D preview doesn't display the toolpath. The toolhead is displayed, but not the travel move.

"Use legally graphic mode" is checked. If not S3D crash when importing any stl.


Config:
Yosemite 10.10.1
S3D 2.2.1
MacBook Pro (mi 2012)
Intel HD Graphics 4000

Re: OSX Yosemite , toolpath preview not displayed

that's odd, I would try going to Help > Reset All Settings and seeing if that does anything for you. For the record, I'm also running 10.10.1 yosemite with an intel 4000 hd graphics, and run it without using legacy graphics and it works fine for me

Re: OSX Yosemite , toolpath preview not displayed

that's odd.

I've tried that. But same thing.

With default settings, I can't open an stl without crashing or freezing S3D. I have first to go in Setings and check use legacy driver. Perhaps that's related.

Here is how it looks on preview:

Re: OSX Yosemite , toolpath preview not displayed

for the record, I tried enabling legacy option for graphics and I can still view the toolpaths, not sure what's going on on your end, sorry.

in terms of the legacy support, does it still crash when you diasble it and try dragging and dropping an stl file into the program?

Disabling the legacy issue didn't worked last time, but just tried now and it imports the file correctly and now displays the preview.
Solved with help of dark magic, I hope I'll be able to reproduce the problem, just to know. :)

Cheers.
