Thanks for the replies guys. I actually installed Intellipoint because I was having the problem and thought that it would fix it! Just uninstalled, per your suggestions, and it does seem to be slightly better... but the problem is still there. I've got the receiver about 3 inches from my...

My index and middle fingers have been feeling strained from SolidWorking, and I'm particularly concerned about hand health being a working musician, so I went out and bought a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. Didn't care so much about wireless or not, but the shape of the mouse is...

For my purposes, the "equal" constraint is all I needed... just needed to be reminded cause it's the one constraint I'd forgotten about and never used! For a simple application, consider constructing a window with 3 panes of glass horizontally, so 2 vertical supports equally spaced at 1/3 and...

excellent, thanks.

random question, but i'm wondering if there's a good way to partition an entity, say a sketch entity like a line, into thirds. rather than placing a point at a dimensioned distance 1/3 along the line, i'd like to make a relation between the point and the line, such that even as the line is...

well weird, after continued fiddling around, for quite awhile, i finally got realview graphics to update. i think what did it was simply reopening the material editors for the materials in question multiple times, and then closing them... with the green check, not the red x. good news, then...

I've got a model with different appearances layered on... say one appearance, green, is attached to the entire part, and another appearance, red, is attached to one face. In my experience, the face material overrides the body material, so the part will be all green, with on red face. What's...

nice. thanks as well, i skimmed what's new but obviously not thoroughly enough!

since upgrading to SW '08, there's this window that frequently opens up on boot up... it's appears to be a SolidWorks window with various models (many of which I've never seen before but might be in my tutorials folder or something) opening and closing in wireframe view, and in the bottom of the...

Well at least now I can stop trying to fix it! Thanks for the reply. By the way, on the same topic, I've set my Custom Materials folder (which I keep in My Documents) to automatically load, in the Photoworks Options setting. However, when opening SolidWorks after a reboot, I seem to usually...

Been trying to streamline the way I create, store, and use custom photoworks materials (well, just switched to '08, so now I guess they're called "Appearances"). Anyways, the thumbnail previews of my custom materials in the photoworks appearances taskpane are not updating. So for example, I...

good to know... what i actually used was "registry seeker"? i'll try tuneup utilities.

I need the CDs to do that right? I'm on the east coast, CDs are at my employer's company on the west coast. But I think you're right, I'm going to have to repair and/or reinstall, so I might as well send for them.

yeah, I didn't know if photoworks was usually an option when you right-click the toolbar, but it's not there for me.

I used "RegCleaner" I believe? I've rebooted and more. But the problem does seem to extend to other add-ins as well, I've definitely checked the photoworks add-in box to make it active, but then when I go back it is unchecked. However, I can actually render photoworks images using the...

My computer was running slow, using SW '07, even after cleanup and defrag, so I downloaded a registry cleaner and after using it my photoworks add-in was screwy, so I restored the registry to its initial state but the problem remains: the photoworks toolbar is gone. I can still access material...

ahh... reseting solidworks by renaming the registry directory worked! what a relief. now i get to work all night to catch up on lost time!

thanks for the suggestions guys! i did try rebooting to no avail. i think this problem began actually a week or so ago, and it's persisted for this long... i can't remember if i changed anything in my options or did anything that could screw it up like this. i'm going to try that registry...

SolidWorks 2007.

I should add that "Light Concrete" does not show up in my Materials Tree, which makes it all the more strange that it is being applied in my renderings. Also, I CAN actually add other materials, I'm realizing, but they are layered on top of the light concrete... ie, I can add a blue plastic...
