Problem to work on ThinkPad T430 with Autodesk Revit 2013 models on external monitor

Did anybody from the community experience problem to work with Revit 2013 on external monitor, which hooked up to Lenovo T430 laptop with hybrid (Intel/Nvidia) video card? When I double click on any a model element on external screen this element jumps to unpredictable direction  and I am getting an error message   “can't keep elements joined”. It happened only on external monitor, when I am using the laptop screen nothing happened.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks

have you spoke to Autodesk about this issue?
Try to update the Nvidia video driver to the latest version, and see whether that helps.

  • Thinkpad T60p with Win XP - Lost color on external monitor (only black & white)

    Hi, I have a ThinkPad T60P, and a couple of weeks ago, I lost color on my external monitor (connected by VGA cable)
    I have done a lot of testing, and found a couple of strange things around this:
    *  when using docking station with two monitors, only monitor nr "1" inCatalyst Control Center shows colors, but not "2".
    * When using external monitor (or projector) I don't get color
    * When showing video on the external monitor, color works(!) This is only on some type of videos, I think. Flash videos (ie. YouTube does not show colors)
    * When getting a bluescreen, the external monitor displays bluescreen with colors. When rebooting after bluescreen, colors were working while booting (windows logo with colors), but as soon as XP was up, colors were gone(!)
    * I have tried updating to the latest graphics driver (79d533ww.exe), and all the settings in Catalyst Control Center /  Control Panel
    As a result of these findings, I beleive it must be a software problem, but since upgrading the drivers didn't work, I don't know what to try next.
    I see also that there are other people experiencing the same problems, but I can't find any solution to this problem.

    Cats seem to have a strong affinity for that display mode — remarkably often we hear that they've typed in the correct keystroke combo for it, and yet they never seem to set it back to normal after using the computer. Not very considerate, but you know cats: consideration isn't part of the package.

  • HT6065 I have a problem with my Mac book pro, my external monitor is not working and i need it to do my business. Please can someone help me with this.  I am running windows 8 on parallels.

    Since I have up dated my Macbook pro, my external monitor does not work. Who can help me

    It was working untill i did the update

  • Is anyone else extremely frustrated with the way that Lion handles external monitors now? My internet speed is ridiculously slow as a result.

    I use only an external monitor as my set up will not allow me to use both my Macbook Pro monitor and external monitor efficiently at the same time. In the past, I would plug my MBP into into my external monitor with the lid closed, wake it up and then open the lid with no issues. It was kind of a pain in the rear but at least it worked. Now, opening the lid activates both the MBP and external monitors automatically instead of leaving the MBP monitor off.
    This is an issue because, well, look at the speed test that results from simply closing my MBP lid:
    Look at that MASSIVE drop in speed. I need to use just one monitor. Upon googling my problem, it seems to be widespread problem. At least there was a way to get around it before the screens autmatically changed...

    Support today quoted Apple's engineers as saying it is "expected behaviour" in Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid, even if you want to use only your external display. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
    This is despite:
    - obvious temperature-related benefits that were achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to, say, a 27" cinema display
    - wifi connectivity benefits of having the lid open
    - the waste of energy and inefficient use of graphics processing power in needlessly running two active screens (ie if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy or you need it open for wifi)
    - negative longer-term impact on the battery and components from running the MBP hotter than it needs to be.
    For any chance of getting the previous behaviour back, we need to ask Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode. Options may include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences. Now the situation has been clarified as intentional, user feedback on this issue has become all the more important.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    In the meantime, a low strength fridge magnet placed on the inside surface along the right hand edge (perhaps above the Kensington lock slot) may serve to convince a MBP that the lid is still closed. It's not something I'd recommend or do personally, but some others are reportedly finding this helpful in the immediate short term.

  • GT70 2QD system crash with FANS running at 100% on external monitor only

    So I have a GT70 2QD with 4710MQ and 970M graphics.  I've swapped out the hard drives and gone with 2 SSD's and added another 16GB of RAM.  I'm quite experienced with system building, so no concerns there.  My problem only occurs when I have the computer attached to an external monitor.  The fans will get up to max without using the button to enable the cooling boost and the only way to shut it down is to put the system to sleep.  Temperatures are never an issue, especially once the fans get going.  The system will occasionally slow down and lag and has from time to time just crashed and rebooted.  I have none of these issues while using the laptops own monitor, gaming or not.  It is strictly related to being attached to an external monitor.  Any thoughts, suggestions or previous experience with this problem would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for asking...I've done a bunch of research, and from what I can see on the forums this isn't an isolated incident.  Sadly it seems that ppl that have sent their laptops in for RMA get them back and still end up having the same problem.  It very well could be a motherboard issue, but is that's the case, IMO it sounds like a faulty temperature sensor.  The only fix for that would be a new motherboard.  The cost of doing RMA business with MSI in the past has been atrocious (over $100 for a video card) so I'm afraid to ask what it would cost to send my laptop to them.  All they really need to do is a firmware update that identifies the faulty sensor and changes its operation parameters.   
    Firmware update has its limits. Maybe this is something cannot be fixed by firmware.

  • Thinkpad T430s with Multi-touch screen?

    I'm currently using a Thinkpad T410-i7 and am considering upgrading to the T430s.
    However, I'm interested in the Multi-touch screen option that was available with the T400s/T410s.
    Is anyone aware if this option is available in the T430s?
    Konker

    @ wesleyyin,
    certainly strange. Some questions to help with the diagnostics;
    Which TrackPoint cap you you have on your keyboard, soft domed, soft rim or classic domed (the hairy one)?
    Can you try disabling the TrackPoint to see the problem goes away?
    Anything else laid on top of the system or between screen and keyboard like a thin cloth or something?
    Thanks

  • Cross dissolve problem - only works as fade in with graphics clips

    I inserted three graphics clips with transitions (cross dissolve default) at the beginning of a sequence. The transitions only seem to work as fade-ins I have plenty of extra frames beyond the edit section of the clips. I tried to adjust the transitions in the transition editor - it shows the transition aligned to start at the edit, but won't allow mw to choose to center it on the edit or end on the edit.
    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Thank you - no, there seems to be a handle only on the left side of the edit (to the left of the transition - which sits only to the right of the edit). On the right side,(in the zone of hte transition) the cursor shows the symbol for the roll tool - r. Excuse my limited understanding of the interface and tools - I am just beginning to learn FCE.
    I will be away from the workstation until tomorrow morning.

  • My music wont sync/work when I plug into my car(2013 model) bluetooth doesnt read all music files just plays from phone control

    it wont read albums, then freshs and plays random tracks.  I cant control it at all though the car audi system (audi q3 2013). 
    Worked perfectly before update

    there isnt a setting that will allow that to happen.
    the phone cannot play audio/video through the usb. it is for data transfer and charging only.
    your cars radio integrates and controls your iStuff because it has the software integrated to allow for it.
    if you have bluetooth, just connect your device to your car through bluetooth and play it that way.
    my pioneer still allows me to pause, play, fwd, etc on my nokia that way. i just cannot go through the menu system.

  • Autodesk Revit on Yoga 3 Pro with Windows 8.1 not working

    I have just started working with my new Yoga 3 PRO with Windows 8.1, and have found that it has compatibility problems with Autodesk Revit (2014 & 2015).  This is perhaps a graphic driver issue.
    Does anyone know of any solutions/updates that will resolve this? Or a way to communcate this back to Lenovo?
    Solved!

    I have been running Revit 2014 very successfully for months now - There is
    probably a limit to the size of projects that will run efficiently on 8GB
    of RAM, but most small/medium size project will be fine.
    I love it!

  • Thinkpad T430 Cannot Boot from Recovery disk

    Dear Community,
    I recently purchased a Thinkpad T430 with Windows7 Pro edition preinstalled.  I want to replace the installed SSD drive with a larger SSD drive (samsung 840 pro).  I have no files on the laptop yet.  After careful reading of several posts and the Thinkpad manual, I created a recovery medium (boot and data) using the Lenovo installed tools onto a 16GB USB flash drive.  I then removed the lenovo SSD drive and replaced it with the Samsung SSD drive.  I connected the flashdrive to the USB port and attempted to boot from this flash drive.  In the boot menu, both the Samsung drive and the USB drive show up, but if I select the USB drive nothing happens (the boot menu reloads).  After reading more posts, I went into the BIOS menu and tried some suggested changes but nothing seems to work.  
    I am an ordinary user, I am not an IT professional and embarked on this adventure thinking it should be straightforward enough.  
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    Was the flash drive properly prepared before creating the recovery image?
    New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
    Sometimes a non-booting flash drive can be fixed by setting the partition active.   Use the instructions in the above link but don't clean, create, or format - or do anything that might corrupt the data.  Just select and set active.
    If there's something else wrong with the drive prep (wrong format, for example), you may be able to get it working by doing the prep on a 2nd USB drive and copying the contents of the first drive.
    You only get to make the recovery media once so if neither of these work you'll need to call support and request DVDs.  In a case like this where the recovery drive creation has failed they may or may not charge for the media.

  • External Monitor not working with U430P

    I have a U430P laptop and a Dell U2412M external monitor.  Both have worked great together until yesterday, all of a sudden my external monitor won't work, the screen is black and my laptop doesn't recognize the device.  I have tested the monitor on another laptop and it works fine.  I have tested my cord on another system and it too works fine.  What is wrong with my U430P?  This laptop is only 5 months old!  Thank you.

  • Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

    Hi,
    I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
    I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
    My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
    Thanks if you can help!
    Jack

    You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
    Joy joy hallelujah.
    Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
    Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
    Hope that helps.

  • External Monitor no longer working after install of 10.4.3

    Hi:
    I am having some major issues after the last update with my external monitor, Dell 1905FP. I have a PowerBook G4 15in, 1.5 processor. Prior to the update I had no issues utlizing the monitor while closing the clamshell but after the update I was unable to utilize the rotation to portrait view on my monitor, with the clamshell closed. It would work on standard view to close the clamshell and then wake the computer utilizing a USB device or bluetooth keyboard.
    I decided to after repairing permissions, disk utility, utilizing a DVI and the Analog cord with adaptor, creating a test user account, resetting PRAM and NVRAM and such to try reapplying the combo updater. This further broke the problem as I was unable to close the clamshell and wake the computer up to utilize the external monitor, even in standard (landscape view). When I do close the clamshell with the external monitor hooked up and then wake the computer with my mouse or keyboard the external monitor does power on and shows a lot of static and such not allowing me to see my desktop, but I can see the mouse cursor.
    The external monitor works just fine, so long as I leave the lid open and if it goes to sleep with the clamshell open, it wakes just fine and the monitor works. This problem only occurs when I close the clamshell. I prefer the clamshell closed because it gives me the full screen that I desire in portrait mode due to the great amount of writing I do (it allows me to see a full 1 1/2 pages of text in Word while writing).
    Another monkey wrench is that I was able to use another monitor, a 17in CRT and it worked just fine, I could close the clamshell and wake the computer utilizing my mouse as I have always been able to. However, I do not believe the Dell monitor is broken, given it will work with a PC laptop perfectly.
    Does anyone have a clue on what this issue could be and a possible fix. I have used my Mac exclusively for a little over a year and I am just learning how to troubleshoot this. My thoughts would be to throw away the preferences in the system and then try hooking up the monitor again (as if it were a new monitor)but I have no idea what preferences to throw away.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Michelle

    I answered this question on my own. I was able to utilize Pacifist and reinstalling the video card drivers and display profiles. Now everything works as it should.

  • Satellite M30X-111 screen doesn't display anything but external monitor works

    My laptop screen just doesn't display anything (look like when the computer is off) but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop will be displayed on that monitor. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.
    I again have to plug in the external monitor, and after I tried to reboot, I keep pressing F8 but the start up mode doesn't come up, only the sound of when you keep pressing a button for too long beeps, however, the laptop monitor works again.
    How do I fix this problem?

    Hi
    According to your first posting I presume that LCD display on your notebook is defective. If you can not see BIOS settings or Toshiba welcome screen there must be some display problem.
    Experiment with external display is to be sure that graphic card is not responsible for that. In your case it works with external display and graphic card can not be responsible.
    Like I said try to enter bios settings and report if you can see Toshiba welcome screen.
