Frequently Asked Questions about ThreeDify Grapher

 

Can ThreeDify Grapher plot 2D graphs? Versions 1.5.5 provides three predefined 2D views: XY, YZ and ZX views


I found a bug, how can I report it? You can send an message with your bug description to Technical Support. Alternatively, you can also raise it in our ThreeDify Grapher user forum.


Does ThreeDify Grapher has its own file format? If not, how can I save and load it back? ThreeDify Grapher does not have its own file format. When saved, everything is saved as part of the hosting Excel file (.xls). When a .xls file is opened, the embedded ThreeDify Grapher objects, if any, will be reloaded silently. There is not yet another file format to deal with!


Can I import 3D objects from an external file? No. ThreeDify Grapher is designed to plot 3D graphs directly from the data ranges within an Excel sheet. To import 3D objects from an external CAD or gaming file, you can use ThreeDify Office Desinger.


I am using MS Office 2007, when I insert a new ThreeDify Grapher control to the Sample.xls file shipped as part of the distribution, Excel 2007 crashes. The Sample.xls file is meant for Office 2003 or earlier versions. Excel 2007 can only open it in the "so-called" compatibility mode and as a result, inserting a new control in this mode is not supported by Excel 2007. You should first save the Sample.xls file as Sample.xlsx (Excel 2007 format) before inserting a new control to it.


I am using MS Office 2007 and trying to save my work to my Microsoft Live Office Workspace online, Excel 2007 takes forever and I have to kill it. Saving/loading Excel files with embedded ThreeDify Grapher control(s) to/from Microsoft Office Live Workspace is not supported in the current version. We are planning to support it in the upcoming ThreeDify Grapher version.

I have downloaded the new Excel Grapher and when I try to run it in excel, excel keeps crashing Due to a bug with the older versions of Excel Grapher the registries of the older version were not getting uninstalled correctly, thus causing the newer versions to crash on start up. You can fix this by doing the following: Steps:

  • Start your Run command window. [Start menu -> Run...].
  • In the Run command window type regedit.
  • In here you want to search for both of the following lines [NOTE: Go to your find tool to search. (Edit -> Find)]
    • AsdGraph3D 1.0 type library
    • AsdGraph3D 1.1 type library
  • Delete any of the registry entries with the above lines that are found.
