We just got SW in our office and unfortunately we've not had any training yet. I've managed to create a model and I'm working hard attempting to add more features to it. Somewhere along the way, something happened and now I have two identical design tree fields on the left side of the screen...
OK, here's the latest update. We reinstalled SW in our machines. I followed instructions as per your valuable advise :).. I had to hack my computer to get into the registry, but I managed to get all references to SW and Edrawings after uninstalling them with the windows control panel.
The good...
OK, the model itself was not too bad to regen or load. The drawing was more of an issue. I uploaded it, but I'm not sure I copied the complete URL this time...

Try loading that file and working with it.
BTW, the last...
I love the dual monitor thing... I'm going to buy myself a new Mac Book Pro and make it a dual boot with WinXP. I'm going to run the SW in that machine too.
I uploaded the part here:

We are also installing new installtions of SW. My coleague's new installtion seems to work better than the previous one even though they are the same version of SW ?!?!
I looked in the links provided but have not had time to dig into them to implement changes. I'll try to upload the files ASAP. We are in the proverbial swamp ful of alligators right now.... We are located in Marietta, GA North of Atlanta.
Thanks, we're working with the reseller's expert right now (as I write) to optimize the systems. I tried posting before but there is some problem with my internet connection. I'll try to upload the files in question ASAP.

This is not about which software is better or about how bad or good my computer might be. We've signed a PO for 2 seats of SW and we are now experiencing some problems or issues that makes us think we've made a mistake and we might have to absorb the price of this product as well as pay...
Thanks to all of you for taking time to help us out here. I'm a little reluctant to even bring up the topic and compare SW with WF. Please believe me that I would like nothing better than to make SW work.
Perhaps I did not make myself clear, but we already have 2 seats of ProE WF 3.0 (we've had...
We were using an "unofficial" copy of the latest software installed by the reseller until the "official" stuff was received... We wanted to get started ASAP and he was helpful with that. I'm glad we were able to play with it for the 1.5 extra days we had it. Otherwise we would not have found...
OK, I tried the various settings on each of the patterned features. The results are varied but of course, they are much faster with the "Geometry Pattern" checked. With the unchecked option the regen times were over 100 seconds. With it checked they were about 11 seconds. However, that does not...
I did have the settings for SW in the video card. Yes, we are running both programs in the same machines. Tha's how we can A-B compare the programs....
Jason, that model is very similar to what we made, we do have more features, but it's similar enough to compare. Your results are astonishing...
Thanks for the input SG20, unfortunately our experience (there are tow of us engineers) is 180 degrees from yours except for stability (I don't know how stable SW is). The graphic qualities of speed and aesthetics of ProE are quite superior to SW in our present configurations. As I originally...
Can't remeber the exact driver, but it was the one specified as certified for SW... And no, it did not make any difference from the 3 year old driver I was using before. Thanks for the tip about http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1177
I'll look at it first thiong Monday and post the files for...
"Try Tools/Options/Performance and make sure that "Verification on Rebuild" is unchecked."
Thanks Jason, I just checked that and it's as you suggest....
"Selecting the Geometry Pattern option when doing a pattern feature can dramatically reduce regen times. When unselected, my model took about 24 seconds to regen."
OK, we tried this but we did not get any noticeable improvememt. We are not working over a network or using PDM. Another issue of...
