Such KOMPAS-3D operation parameters as access to the 3D modeling system, hardware acceleration level and parallel processing of views are set in the System control section of the setting dialog box. To access the section, call the Settings — Parameters... 
and in command and in the dialog box that appears, select System — General — System control.

Setting description |
|
Automatically obtain a license to work with KOMPAS-3D |
This option disables/enables automatic obtaining of a license to work with the 3D design system when launching KOMPAS-3D. |
|
|
The setting change takes effect after a restart KOMPAS-3D. |

The drop-down list allows you to select the option of drawing the document on the screen. Drawing option — extent to which KOMPAS-3D utilizes the capabilities of the video card to create an image of the model on the screen. By default, the Auto determination line is selected in the list. This means that the rendering option is determined automatically depending on the capabilities of the video card. If necessary, you can manually select one of the following options: •Enhanced — maximum rendering acceleration. Use it if your graphic card supports OpenGL 4.5 or higher and has more than 2 GB of video memory. •Base — moderate rendering acceleration. Use this if your graphics card supports OpenGL 2.0 to 4.5. •Compatible — slow rendering speed (at the level of KOMPAS-3D version 17 and earlier). Use it if your graphic card supports OpenGL up to 2.0. •Without hardware acceleration — no rendering acceleration; in addition, this option is functionally limited: it makes it impossible to smooth the image, display textures, reduces the quality of realistic transparency, cancels some lighting effects of the model. When manually setting the rendering option, it is recommended to select one of the options that use hardware acceleration: Enhanced, Base, or Compatible. The Without hardware acceleration option should only be selected if the hardware-accelerated options cannot be utilized or are running with problems on a particular hardware and software configuration. |

Smoothing quality |
The drop-down list allows you to select the level of smoothing of the models on the screen. The following options are available: •Low, •Average, •High, •No smoothening. Note that using antialiasing can reduce rendering speed: the higher the image quality, the greater the load on the graphic card. |

Display the interface using the GPU |
Option that controls hardware acceleration of interface rendering KOMPAS-3D. Disabling the option improves stability KOMPAS-3D on workstations with outdated hardware and software configuration or if there are problems with rendering of interface elements (dialogs, windows, etc.). |

Load data from the model when working in associative drawings |
This option allows you to load data from the source model of associative drawing views. The model itself is loaded in the background. The download occurs when an associative drawing is opened or when an associative view of a model is created that has not yet been loaded (for example, if a view of another model is created in the drawing).
