Thanks for the replies everyone. To put this one to bed, I finally found that the file exported by the CSW was corrupt (for some reason). I opened the file in a Text Editor, copied the content from within into a new file and saved it with a ".sldreg" extention. Activated the file, and it...

I'm not sure what is going on with my hyperlinks...strange. I found an entry on SW's website referencing this phenomenom. It is a know issue that the developers are working on. I'm working around by doing just as you suggested there CBL, thanks for the advise! Cheers M.B. Price CSWP...

Hi all, I am attempting to use the SW Copy Settings Wizard (CSW) to install a Registry File with my Custom Settings in it on a 64 Bit Vista (Business Edition, SP1.0) Dell Desktop. Upon activating the CSW, all of the Option Boxes appear "greyed out" as if I do not have Adminstrative privelages...

Curious, do any of you experience this problem that make use of a PDM System? I've been told by our VAR that a PDM will solve this problem, as it elliminates the basic problems with collaboration mode and / or the inherent problems with file locking at the OS level. This, BTW, is a strong...

Hello, I am trying to setup some new Weldment Profiles within SW to expand the existing selection set. Upon creation of the new Profile, I would like to automate my Cut List creation for the item so that the Stock Sizes and Material shows up in the Cut List. Many of the stock profiles...

The 65% increase in performance (in some areas) came from the announcement at SW World 08. They provided a side-by-side comparrison of 08 & 09 to illustrate the improvements in performance. 09 was better, hands down on performance. My VAR rep said she just went to the VAR Rollout and she is...

Arctic, I sympathize with your dilemma. We are in a very similar situation, only with 30 users at one of our sites (over 100 across 5 sites) and we have the benefit of an Engineering Sub-net (which made a significant improvement in consistent performance). I have found that the good people at...

Ok, to put a final cap-off on this topic…I attended SW World last week and I was very encouraged at the things I heard Jeff Ray (SW CEO) say in the general sessions. Apparently, Jeff went on a “world tour” visiting over fifty cities in over thirty countries seeking feedback from SW Users. Jeff...

So, so this topic doesn't get taken out of context; I would like to remind that I stated in my start of the overall thread; "Does anyone have any other observations that can give perspective beyond these observations? BTW, I would like to keep this constructive and am not intending on moaning...

Thanks fellas, I appreciate it... I do realize how fortunate my company is to not only have enough size / revenues to employee me as the CAD Manager but also that the Management recognizes the benefits of having a CAD Manager and supports my existance. This is not the case with many companies...

"these threads are so old its sickening. Sorry to be a negative post tonight... but these threads have been here since 96 and there is always one guy to start the thread and every one just feeds into it." Now thats ironic Scott! In a single breath you not only condemed what you have not...

I'm with ya Scott...care to weigh in on the original question? [peace] M.B. Price CSWP www.assembly-testww.com Automated Assembly & Test Systems

Scott, I think you are hitting on something that is very difficult to establish, and that is "expectations". I don't think anyone would ever expect SW, as well as any other program, not to have hang ups and crashes, it's just difficult to establish "what is a reasonable set of expectations"...

So, back on topic... Gildashar, I've heard many people that's been with SW since the late 90's blame much of the problem of SW's aggressive pursuit of more new features directly on the competition between SW & IV. It may not be limited to just these two players. The story I heard was SW...

Nicely stated Cor; may I quote you on that? [peace] M.B. Price CSWP www.assembly-testww.com Automated Assembly & Test Systems

Setting expectations of performance and stability is very difficult. Is it fair to expect any software to not ever crash? Probably not; however, when does stability become a vaild problem? How bad before one says "something must be done about this"? M.B. Price CSWP www.assembly-testww.com...

Cor, I agree with you and again, I wasn't looking for forum ranting, but some confirmation that my observations aren't unique, but seen by others as well. Also, my intent is to fly to New Concord and have a face to face meeting with "the powers that be within SW". I do plan to first send a...

JMirisola, I agree with your observations on "network" related causes. I've been told countless times that SW does not recommend working live over a LAN. That is exactly our situation, however; my benchmarks have considered LAN operations as well as local stand alone operations and the data...

I’ll throw this out, hopefully for some constructive candid feedback. I have been seeing a reoccurring theme since getting involved with SW (back in 2004), and have been receiving a good deal of feedback from some of my seasoned users that have made the same observation, since 1999. The...

We are having a problem that we can not change the material on some parts. The only way to change it is to delete the material and then add it again with the new description. It just started with Service pack 4.0. Has any one else experienced this problem. M.B. Price CSWP...
