missing 3D graph ActiveX control

[pawel]

Hi 

I have LV 2009 f2 (64bit) version for Windows 7 and any of the "3D graph properties" vi and examples using the 3D graphs show "Control could not be loaded" in the 3D graph window.

The LV help says it should be available in the basic version, I have prof dev.

Anybody can help?

thanks

OK, got it, installing LabVIEW in 32bit mode  fixed it. Ugh.... Why to bother with 64 bits anyways.

On the other and it is interesting, that when you lunch the installer from original DVDs it does not even mention that it is running in 32 bits instead of 64....

I am not going to reinstall again... ugh....

Hi I just ran into the same issue.  My VI won't load the 3D graph ActiveX control.  Did your workaround indeed fix the problem?  I have LV 2010, 64-bit version. 

I've got about 3 legacy programs to convert   So I could spend a half day re-writing my code, or half a day getting my IT support to give me the discs for the 32-bit version

BrianALLCAPS,

Or you could spend half a day downloading LabVIEW 2010 32-bit... The still currently accepted workaround for this issue is use the 3D graph palette in Modern > Graph. You will need to re-engineer your code for this though. Just so everyone knows, this has been submitted to R&D in the form of CAR #246648.

Hi

I did not dig into it more. It worked with 32 bit version and this is what I go for a time being.

Thanks for the info on the CAR and workaround.  I did the same as user pawel and the 32 bit version pulls in the my VI controls just fine.  The 64 and 32 bit versions of Labview seem to coexist peacefully on my computer. 

Using the new controls seems the be the proper upgrade path.  I'll migrate the my code up to them when I [ha!] get some free time to work on it.

Just noticed that the old faithful Active X 3D Graph is not installed with LV 2015 64 bit. Since I haven't checked the piece of code using this control for a while, I suppose that the port to 64 bits never happened?
