The following code, should force all dbPrint text to be printed at the top left of the screen using dbSetCursor(1,1). However, 3D commands seem to force dbPrint text to the bottom regardless of dbSetCursor. How do I get around this?

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK(void)

{
	dbAlwaysActiveOn();
	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(60);
	dbSetCursor(1,1); // Set cursor position
	dbMakeObjectSphere(1,1); // Load object
	while(LoopGDK())
	{
		dbPrint("Hello World"); // Print some text

		// refresh screen
		dbSync(); 
	
	}
}

It "forces" the cursor to the middel because ur making a 3d object after "dbSetCursor", try

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK(void)

{
	dbAlwaysActiveOn();
	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(60);
	dbMakeObjectSphere(1,1); // Load object
	dbSetCursor(1,1); // Set cursor position
	while(LoopGDK())
	{
		dbPrint("Hello World"); // Print some text

		// refresh screen
		dbSync(); 
	
	}
}

Hi,

You need to reset the cursor position as dbPrint() updates it (increases it)

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK(void)

{
	dbAlwaysActiveOn();
	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(60);
	dbSetCursor(1,1); // Set cursor position
	dbMakeObjectSphere(1,1); // Load object
	while(LoopGDK())
	{
                dbSetCursor(1,1);
		dbPrint("Hello World"); // Print some text

		// refresh screen
		dbSync(); 
	
	}
}

So, in that case I might as well use dbText.
