Did you set ALL the paths? For me I have to set the path to the actual binaries, so
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/$userdir/java3d/lib/amd64, running Ubuntu 64- bit, and I have the 3D working in Electric just fine, where $userdir is replaced by your directory. For Windows its probably a little different since you need the DLLs, sounds like you just forgot to configure something. Remember Java can't actually handle hardware, so if you set only the CLASSPATH you're just giving yourself access to the APIs, and Java's being smart and silently failing to load the 3D because it doesn't know where the actual binaries that control the video card are. Not to be discussed here but what I want to know is why IRSIM is broken in version 9.00 (it works but the graphical output is bogus)... :P On Sep 20, 2:19 pm, Dave <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for replying but I'm having a problem even our IT person is > having trouble with. > > Neither version of Electric 9.00 - electric-9.00.jar and > electricBinary-9.00.jar - have any menu selection regarding > "3D" (including the non-existent "3D Showcase" selection under "Help") > The selection does exist on 8.11 - but Java3D still isn't working > > Library file:/C:/Electric/electricBinary-8.11.jar!/com/sun/electric/ > tool/user/help/helphtml/floatingGates.jelib read, took 0.023 seconds > Checking library 'floatingGates' for repair... library checked > No errors found > =================================2================================= > Java3D is not available. > > So I have a problem with the Java3D installation (regular Java works > fine when checked at java.com) and possibly with Electric 9.00 > > Followed the instructions with Java3D (j3d-1_5_2-windows-amd64.zip. > Also tried j3d-1_5_2-windows-i586.zip). > CLASSPATH looks to be structured correctly as does PATH > > The three files are at C:\j3d-jre\lib\ext > > CLASSPATH is > .;C:\j3d-jre\lib\ext\j3dcore.jar;C:\j3d-jre\lib\ext\j3dutils.jar;C: > \j3d-jre\lib\ext\vecmath.jar > > Path is > %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; > %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files > \ActivIdentity\ActivClient\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ActivIdentity > \ActivClient\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared > \DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared > \10.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Imaging\;C:\Program > Files\jre6\lib\amd64;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\; > %CDSROOT%\tools\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\libutil\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\fet > \bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\pcb\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\specctra\bin;%CDSROOT% > \tools\PSpice;%CDSROOT%\tools\PSpice\Library;%CDSROOT%\tools\Capture; > %CDSROOT%\OpenAccess\bin\win32\opt > > Tried installing in both C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86). > Neither worked > > Anybody see any problems?
