Hi Jonas, Do you have a suggestion for determining whether or not an animation is being rendered in field mode from within an AXP? I've tried accessing FieldInfo and AXPViewInfo. I've also tried EXP_FIELD_INF and EXP_AXP_VIEW without success. I can get the total number of fields but that doesn't change if the rendering mode changes so it doesn't help. Unfortunately, there are no samples available in IPAS 3, 3.5, or 4 that seem to point to a solution to this problem.

Danny, How's it going? Working on something interesting? Knowing if the user is rendering in field mode or not is pretty important to us, here's the code we use: int f_info …. #define fi buf->data.vinfo buf->opcode=EXP_AXP_VIEW buf->usercode=0xxxx; break; case 0xxxx; f_info=fi.using_fields; #undef fi I just double checked this, f_info shows 0 for no fields, 1 for field rendering. I hope this helps some. Don

Thanks Don, I tried something similar to this without success. Maybe I just typo'd it or something. Thanks for your help. Take care, Danny…

Hi Danny, << Do you have a suggestion for determining whether or not an animation is being rendered in field mode from within an AXP? I've tried accessing FieldInfo and AXPViewInfo. >> I found a variable in AXPViewInfo, "int using_fields" on pg 42 of the IPAS4 docs.
