    Justify new workstations

    I'm the new guy, I don't have much credit anyway. ;) If I can get the new box AND the networked overhauled, I'm pretty sure I won't complain at least for another year or two.

    Justify new workstations

    Oh, everybody knows the network is even more pathetic. In fact, there's an IT project to replace the backbone and lines in every plant. Of course, its stuck in limbo 'cause of the high cost. An IT guy bought these computers 1.5 years ago for the engineers, and he bought desktops with the low...

    Justify new workstations

    MadMango, SWx 2007 SP2. We do save the UG parts as SW. I guess the problem is its one large surfacing, rather than a solid model. As said, even the ppl at SWX says that's probably not helping with performance issues, since SWX is handling each imported part as surfaces. :S LOL @ ajack1!

    Justify new workstations

    On average, our machines perform the benchmark in 303.23 seconds, the Precision 390 does the test in 143.19 seconds. We already had SWX come to our plant to check out the peformance and they gave us the large assembly mode, configs, etc. Our biggest hit is we have a HUGE UGS file vault. We just...

    Justify new workstations

    My boss is fully aware of our issues. Unfortunately, he needs a cost justification in order to sell his boss. Otherwise, we're just a bunch of whiney engineers. I have done times on my own PC with open and save times anywhere from 3-5 minutes. We're talking assemblies with 50-100 parts. We have...

    Justify new workstations

    So I started at a new company and they have some pretty pathetic computers. So I went to SPECapc and downloaded their benchmarking software for what we use (Solidworks in this case) and had all our engineers run it. In short, the conclusion, on average, our PCs are 52% slower than Dell's...

    Create and pattern axis in a cut

    Alright...something I did all the time in Pro/E, but for the life of me can't figure out how to do it in SW. Problem: I have an assembly that utilizes carriage bolts. I used to create my square cuts and would pop an axis point in the middle of it. This way, when I assembled the bolts (which had...

    How to thicken sheetmetal in the sketch?

    Hi all, Tried to do a search but couldn't find this particular question, so apologies if its been asked before. I'm totally new to SolidWorks, have been driving Pro/E for 8 years though. In sheetmetal mode, is there a way to thicken the sketch? I need some controlling dimensions from the...
