Ruler cannot be displayed

Jiricbeng · November 22, 2018, 02:04

Hi there,

In Fluent I cannot display the ruler. I came across this issue several times. In display options the ticking square for ruler is grey and it cannot be switched on. On another PC the ruler is visible. Is it related to Windows setup?

No ideas yet? Obviously showing the ruler is a tough issue.

The ruler can only be displayed in "Orthographic Projection" mode. Maybe on your PC the projection mode is "Perspective Projection". You can switch between the two modes with the buttons shown in the attached image.

Best regards,
Stephan

I don't catch your problem

you may use TUI command to switch view to orthographic

Code:

display views camera projection orthographic

put this command in Fluent console, press Enter

best regards
