Dutifully apologetic and definitely wrong. We use DBWorks so I should stay off the PDMWorks horse.

I would reccomend searching around your company for an old junker PC or workstation. That way you can get a feel of both the administration services and check in/out process. You can install it on any machine but are only going to be able to familiarize yourself with the administration of the...

Did you try pressing the autoset button several times?

This sounds to me like we are talking about some wide screen resolutions, correct me if I am wrong. You may have to tinker with your graphics settings because it could be "stretching" SW to fill up your screen. Right clicking your desktop brings up the quickest access to some of these...

We follow a 4xRAM standard for max and 30 MB less for min. I am assuming you have the 64 bit version of Windows.

There are several steps I can reccomend before trying to replace any equipment. First, you definitely want to rule our your individual workstations like Jeff suggested. Also, you should check to make sure that the Duplex settings on your workstation network card match that on the switch that...

Another thing probably more important than your network speed is the type of storage being used for your SW data. You can't all try to pull data from one server with only one spindle grinding away trying to load up everyone's requests. I don't know what the actual setup is but you should have...

Morning chaps. To keep it short and sweet I had to rollback a user that had escaped us before from SW2006 SP5.1 to 4.1. However, I was told after the fact that the assemblies he had been editing had errors on all the mates when opened on a 4.1 machine. Now that this user is on 4.1 when he...

If the task manager is displaying 0% CPU usage Solidworks is hung and will not continue. I would reccomend cleaning out the temp files on your computer both through IE AND right click Start>Properties>Customize>Clear. You may want to verify that all your RAM sticks are good as well and of...

Oops forgot to mention I definitely agree with Stefan about the SCSI. Get a good SATA drive with a decent raid controller and you will outperform the older SCSI technology. Also RAID1 is the way to go when not pulling from a central server. The two most important things in a SW system is the...

I am actually an IT professional for my summer intern as I am a student in college at the moment. Since our company supports between 30-40 SolidWorks users I peruse these forums to pick up performance tips and fix a few issues that pop up, so feel free to take my advice under your discretion...

Yes I am definitely not using the 3GB switch. I have cleared the temp files, defraged, and cleared the recently used programs, data etc. If you mean clean the inside as in dust its a fairly new machine and is not bad. This machine was also not one of those upgraded to SP5.1. I have also...

Dell Precision 380 2GB RAM Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2800 MHz NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI Windows XP Pro x64 20 other users can open the dwg with the same system specs so I am not concerned in those respects. I verified the graphics card and ensured appropriate drivers as well. I do...

I have no idea if this thread is still active. I have a user with similar problems when opening large drawings. We are however running SW 2006 SP4.1. I stopped SW from automatically opening drawings in Lightweight mode and althought the drawing takes a few minutes to open it does so...
