RE-FX and graphical display

Hi,
I would need to display the architectural view of RE-FX (buildings, properties etc.) in a graphical display tool.
What are the settings required in RE-FX? Should the geocoordinates (longitude, latitude) be maintained in the RE object master data, and if so is there some enhancement or similar for adding those?
Thanks a lot!

Hi, 
sorry, do you mean this is available in RE or not?
Would anyone have some examples how the link from RE-FX to GIS systems has been made?
Should the mapping of the RE objects to the map be done in some external tool like some geodatabase? Is this typically something that is provided by the external map tool e.g ESRI?
In SAP help is mentioned the architectural view is recommended for this link ,but I can't find any practical information about how this should be done:
"Use of the architectural view is optional. It is recommended in the following cases:
.... You want to link to graphical systems."
If you have any ideas about this it would be really great!

  • Types and graphics displayed incorrect in Safari with a second User account

    With my own user account (Admin) Safari works very well. With the second user account I have problems to display Websites correctly. They are only displayed in capital letters and graphics are not loaded. At first I was thinking it depends on the administration authorization or a Java Update. But either doesn't change anything.
    In the meantime I install Firefox 3.0 and the same problem...
    Please help me - it is such %*#
    Thank you very much!

  • TS3276 mail messages often fail to display pictures and graphics?

    i have a problem with some mail messages in that they do not display picture and graphics. i have Flip4Mac installed and have a late model Macbook Air 13 inch running Mavericks

    Assuming that your operating systems are as steated in your signatures, you both may find it helpful to remove the account from Mail Preferences/Accounts and then set it up again following the instructions here:

  • Which MacBook Pros are safe to buy used and not recalled for video graphics/display failure (due to overheating)?

    I've had some bad luck with MacBook Pros lately. I bought a 2010 model but it was effectively a Total Loss because of a vehicle accident. From searching with Google, people have reported logic board failures. Who knows if mine would've failed, too.
    Then I bought an older 2009 MacBook Pro and that eventually failed due to the graphics chip failure. There was a recall on it but the problem occured JUST after the recall period expired. I don't have a microwave solder lying around or a proper setup to fix the problem myself.
    Now, I im in the market for a used MacBook Pro, as a gift (I can't afford a new one right now) (with the luck I have, I'm basically done with them but the person wants one).
    I've seen some 2011 models priced quite attractively, which caused me to do a quick check and find that the (early) 2011 models also have video graphic failures. I don't get it. I understand paying for the name, but the name also has to have reliability and you don't hear about video graphics failures from some of the more well known PC manufacturers..just saying.
    I'd strongly prefer to not purchase any retina models, if at all possible. I want a mechanical SATA HDD and an optical drive. I oppose proprietary components -- as I understand it, the retina models make it nearly impossible to upgrade.
    Which used MacBook Pros are safe for purchase? In other words, which ones do not have recalls or are susceptible to video graphics/display failures? I don't want to put the money down for one, only to hear it kicked the bucket and it needs service and is out of warranty.
    Thank you for your time.

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro sleep and external display problem

    I recently upgraded to the new 2010 15 inch core i7 Macbook Pro. The problem i have is that it will not detect an external display (23inch Cinema) after waking from sleep. This happens after using the display to extend the desktop and also when using the Macbook in closed mode.
    I've managed to get it to detect the display only after either restarting the Macbook completely or by going into energy saver and switching to dedicated graphics then going back to detect display.
    It seems that when on integrated graphics it doesn't register that an external display is connected. If i leave a program open and running that causes the dedicated graphics to kick in then it works ok. If i close all programs, shut the macbook pros lid, computer sleeps and external display shuts off. If i click the mouse to wake with lid closed, apple logo lights, machine starts up few seconds later macbook returns to sleep. If i open the screen the machine wakes as normal but the external monitor doesn't.
    Any help is much appreciated as its starting to frustrate me now...
    Many thanks
    oh and im running OSX 10.6.3

    I thought it was intermittent to begin with until i started looking into it. By leaving programs open, like aperture, before i put the machine to sleep it appears to wake the external monitor up without a problem. If i shut all programs or leave basic things open like safari and mail which don't require the dedicated graphics, then upon wake it wont register an external screen is connected.
    Manually detecting displays in settings doesn't work.
    Disconnecting and reconnecting mini display port doesn't work.
    Turning off power to cinema display and powering back up doesn't work.
    To get the display going again its either 1) turn off macbook pro and re-boot or 2) re-start the machine then the display is automatically recognised. Or 3) launch a programme that kicks in dedicated graphics then manually go in and detect displays again..... like magic the display then springs to life.
    No ideas anyone??

  • Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system

    I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
    I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
    * Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
    * Intel Core Duo Processor
    * 1024 MB RAM
    * At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
    * Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
    This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
    For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
    Supported Video Cards
    ATI Radeon(TM) series
    * X1600, X1900, HD 2400, HD 2600
    NVIDIA GeForce series
    * 7300, 7600, 8600, 8800
    Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
    * GMA X3100
    and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
    Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
    Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:

    Hi Trisha,
    The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
    Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

  • Macbook pro 17 inch primo 2011 and thunderbolt display crashes

    I have a Macbook pro 17 inch primo 2011 and thunderbolt display which has recently started to crash.
    Only modifications I have doen lately is I swapped the CD/DVD drive for a harddrive and put in 16 GB of ram
    but it has been running for more than a month with these hardware additions without problems.
    Today my Macbook has started to crash frequently within 10 min to 1 hour after plugging in my thunderbolt display.
    I tried to check CPU heat, change RAM but it keps crashing.
    When it crashes it either gives me a blue screen, a black screen or a distorts everythings and freeze up.
    When rebooting I have to press Command-Option-P-R to clear NVRAM / PRAM.
    I found a few support threads from people having similar problems so I started to disconnect the thunderbolt display
    and without plugging it in my laptop works fine.
    I have done a SMC reset also but that has not resolved my issue.
    Below is the crash report and if anybody has any suggestions what to do to resolve this please let me know
    My thunderbolt display was purchased in late 2011
    If this is not solveable what options do I have ?
    Thanks !

    The other day I got the blue screen, the fan going on high, and then when I disconnect my thunderbolt connection from my macbook pro - i get a shutdown.
    Today I got flickering followed by the fan on high and then again I disconneced my thunderbolt cable and after a minute or two a shudown.
    This never happened before.  Actually I was suprised to hear about a firmware update for flickering since that's never happened to me but since updating I now get the flicker.
    Any ideas??  Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my work labtop.

  • MacBook Pro and 27" Display not playing nice together

    I'm having a rather strange problem with my Early 2011 MacBook Pro and my 27" Apple Display (Mini-Display port). They don't want to play nice together. The display will randomly/intermittently disconnect and turn black, then reconnect, sometimes after a second or so, but sometimes not for a good 10 seconds or more.
    - My MBP works fine on other monitors (Thunderbolt 27", 24" LG via DVI adaptor).
    - My wife's MBP works fine on this monitor.
    - Had a tech look at the monitor, his MacBook works on it fine too.
    - The combination of my MBP and this 27" Apple Display gives you the result shown in the video.
    It happens quite frequently -- often enough to make working on this combination unbearable. But I have no clue as to what's going on here.
    In "System Information" under "Graphics / Displays", the display not show up as connected to either the PCIe or Built-In graphics adapter when the 27" has turned black. When the screen is on, it shows up.
    Here's a YouTube video of the symptoms.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0C50k0189I
    I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Your video shows the MacBook Pro display turning blue for a few seconds, several different times. This is an acknowledgement that a display is coming (or going).
    Unencumbered by anything sensible, my diagnosis would be that you have a loose connection.
    Mini DisplayPort cables can be diabolical. When inserting, you must make certain that essentially ALL of the metal end disappears inside the computer jack.

  • Pixelated text and graphics in MacBook Pro Retina

    Why are text and graphics in pixelated in Numbers and iBooks applications, to name two, on the MacBook Pro Retina? All updates have been downloaded.

    Clinton- The problem is that the way things are setup is a bit confusing. Apple doesn't let us use the actual full resolution of 2880 x 1800, in relateive size. There is a hack to see the screen at full native resolution, and it's unbelievably small. So what they do is use the pixels, but use 4 vs 1, and thus they make the UI look like it would look as standard 1440 x 900 display. I have an old 15" and looking at both, the UI is the same relative size on the screen. However the retina is using more pixels to make the same physical size.
    Now, Apple also lets apps use 1:1 within their "working area." For instance, if you view a graphic on a web page, it shows it doubled, and pixelated. But if you drag that image to the desktop then open in Preview, preview will show it half size of Safari, but in actual resolution. it's sharp, but half the size of Safari, as Safari is doubling it. So apps can take advantage of that but will have to be updated. Pixelmator isn't updated, and graphics/text/vectors are blurry in their work area, but once you save/export, and view in preview, they are perfect.
    So there is going to be a lot of strange stuff going on until everyone gets on the same page.
    I did find you can view Pages/Numbers with better resolution (just not icons) by right-clicking "get info" and unchecking open in low resolution. But Pages acts weird. I will post a screenshot in a minute about what I mentioend about apps using the native resolution within work spaces.

  • Quotes and Graphics in Forwarded mail Received as Attachments

    When I forward mail, often inline graphics like company logos show up as attachments and are not displayed where they show up on my computer and and often, but not always, several levels of quoted messages show up on the recipients PCs as either text or html file attachments and are also not displayed as quoted text. When the message is forwarded back to me it looks fine on my Macbook Pro. This seems to be a fairly recent problem. It also seems to be kind of hit and miss. At my company everybody complains. I've called up others who were copied the same message and it displayed OK for them. What can I do?
    Snow Leopard 10.6.7, Mac Mail 4.5. Messages mostly sent/received via Microsoft Exchange Server.

    With recipients using Outlook or Outlook Express, this is common behavior with messages heavily laden with HTML or RTF when forwarded. Probably will work if before sending you click on Format in the menubar and choose Make Plain Text. Assumes the HTML/RTF not critical, of course.

  • Bitmapping Fonts and Graphics in Mountain Lion

    My fonts graphics are bitmapping whenever I use Adobe CS5 (specifically, Illustrator and Indesign). Then I noticed that fonts and graphics are bitmapping in Chrome as well. It seems to work fine in Safari, but I still see some bitmapping, such as the editing bar above, as I type this question (in Safari).
    I've also get a MacBook Pro 15" with Retina display.
    Any ideas?

  • Lion and external display

    Hi,
    When I wake up my MacBoo Pro usingto work with external display, my laptop gets very hot and I with Snow Leo I was used to open the lid to cool it down.
    It worked fine, because the laptop screen was black but with Lion I cannot do it because after opening the laptop lid I am getting immediately cloned desktop on my laptop.
    Is it possible to come back to the previous behaviour or somehow to switch-off the laptop screen after opening the lid, still with keeping the external display as active and main one?

    Hi tgr2007
    According to Apple support, it is "expected behaviour" under Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
    This is despite:
    - the obvious temperature-related benefits that were previously achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to a 27" cinema display
    - the complete and total waste of energy and graphics processing power in running two active screens if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy
    - the negative longer-term impact on the battery and other components from running the MBP at any hotter a temperature than it needs to be.   
    If you would like to have the previous behaviour restored, please join us (ie the many customers who are being adversely affected by this change) in lobbying Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode.
    Options available to Apple include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences.
    Please submit your feedback here:

  • Graphical display partly covered time to time

    My graphical display sometimes get partially covered with black boxes. It goes away once I close that application and reopen again.

    can you take some screen shots and show us?
    Yes that would help!
    Most weird graphic problems in LV can be fixed by turning attention to the graphic interface of your machine. Reducing hardware acceleration settings or getting driver updates for your graphics adapters seem to fix most weird displays.
