Having downloaded and installed the latest HF for 17.40 I was greeted with a splash screen that my Nvidea Quadro (K2000) board was detected and asked if the GPU support should be switched on. Accepting this, the display changed and the response was indeed quicker but: The skeletal view of the various elements was not longer possible to achieve. I have used this over the years with the possibility to dim and set skeletal view options according to the sliders in the viewing pane.
It is not also possible to adjust the opacity of shapes.
Having checked the nVidea Control panel, there are no options that controls this behavior. Toggling priority between graphic and/or GPU computing or adjusting the performance slider have no effect.
It is possible to have the pads tranparent but traces or shapes - No.
I also downloaded HF020 today but could not see any change.
