hi all, I have Amibroker 5.50 setup on a Win 7 machine. 3D charts, after optimisation, display correctly when I view it natively on its monitor.

When I connect to the machine (same LAN) via remote desktop connection (RDP - from a Mac or another Win 7 machine) the scales/text (on the axes) go missing from the 3D charts. Otherwise the remote connection works fine.

Has anyone had similar experience ? Is there a solution (i.e. to have an identical image via RDP as the native monitor). I have updated all drivers to the latest for all client and the AB/Win7 machine.

i have searched thoroughly but kindly direct me if this has been posted before, thanks very much.
 
I tried to reproduce it using Win XP, Teamviewer and Amibroker 5.5. No problem there. Did you contact support?
 
joshsmi thanks for the reply,

no i have not contacted them as yet as I wasn't sure if this was an amibroker issue or something i overlooked.
have also tried mstsc /console to access main console but no luck - will try support. thanks again.

I would suggest you are hitting some nuances of the MS RDP , rather than a bug in AB. Are the resolutions / color-depth of both client and server the same?

just thought i'd report back my latest findings from AB support (thanks again tomasz/marcin) - it was never an issue with AB since it worked natively for me (direct display).

RDP doesn;t play well with OpenGL which the AB 3D Chart uses. there is a way around it I gather from the link Tomasz pointed me to but I didn;t spend time (http://social.technet.microsoft.com.../thread/c8295ef8-3711-4576-9293-2c4965280165/) and looked for a quick solution.

so rather than trying to start native 3D chart/OpenGL, gain console control and logging into it i managed to get around the problem with VNC (TightVNC) which only transfers image of chart back to my remote client. works fine except RDP is much faster/smoother and there is noticeable lag with VNC but this works fine for me just to confirm short optimization runs visually.

hope that helps anyone who is also attempting this.
thanks again for suggestions and help.
