    SW complete uninstall?

    Hi, Could someone direct me to the thread that outlines the complete uninstall and re-install of Solid works. 2005 has been buggy and I have a suspicion that it was installed with the A/V running. So I want a clean slate to start with when I install 2006. Thanks

    Conflicting software?

    I don't know if this has happened to anyone before, but at least once a day my monitor screen turns black, as if the power was turned off and comes back on in 1-2 sec. It was doing this before the video card was changed, and is still doing it with the new card.

    Conflicting software?

    Solidworks crashes intermittently when opening the Design Library, opening a file, editing a sketch, and sometimes when dimensioning a drawing. It crashes up to 3-4 times a day. Is this normal for SolidWorks? I'm not working with complex geometry or surfaces, just simple prismatic parts. As for...

Can proprietary software...

    SolidWorks 2005 Annotations

    Hi, I have a couple of questions concerning drafting with SolidWorks. I have been having some issues when modifying annotation text. When I modify the text it seems to be mirrored above the original annotation text. I dont think it's a graphics card problem because this 'doubled' annotation...
