System Options
The PhotoWorks application provides general system options for toggling
application properties. The changes you make on the System
Options tab affect all current and future documents.
To set System Options:
Click Options
(PhotoWorks toolbar) or PhotoWorks,
Options.
On the System
Options tab, edit the following:
Clear image
before rendering. Select to clear the SolidWorks graphics
area before each new rendering; clear to update the previous rendering
incrementally.
Display progress/abort
dialog. Select to display a progress dialog box during the rendering
process. To interrupt the rendering process at any stage, click Stop in the progress dialog box.
Use SolidWorks
part physical appearances as default appearance. Select to use
the SolidWorks physical appearances when you render the model. For example,
if you select an aluminum appearance in the Appearances
Editor PropertyManager in SolidWorks, then the part renders with
a metallic appearance.
Enable dynamic
help. Expanded tooltips explain each property, illustrate the range
of effects, and list any dependencies.
Hide decals
in SolidWorks. Decals are visible as you add them, but when you
close the Decals PropertyManager,
the decals are hidden except when rendered.
Enable
memory settings. Enables memory management. Benefits include:
Shorter rendering times for large models.
Increased document size limits.
User alerts when models are too complex
for the system’s resources.
Screen image
gamma correction. Gamma correction is a process to
correct the output to compensate for the output device. The output is
the rendered image and the output device is typically a monitor or a printer.
Because the display of an image through a monitor loses some of its brightness,
you need gamma correction to display the image properly. The image is
dynamic.
This value does not affect
images rendered to file.
Click Apply,
then click Done.
