I'm using Solidowrks 2009 1.0 X64 now and for some reason in windows explorer my thumbnail actaully use the "icon" images. Meaning, I see an image of the part, but I can hardly make out what it is. What happened to my regular thumbnails? Can I fix this? Joel C. Warnke Mechanical Designer &...

No, All appearance was set to performance, wallpaper set to none, screensaver off and resolution 1280 X 1024. I not only tested these with the benchmark, but also used them both for about a week. You can easlity tell the was a difference. Joel C. Warnke Mechanical Designer & Infrastructure...

I have tested Solidworks 2008 x64 SP4.0 in Windows XP x64 vs. Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and I wanted to share my results. Both of these tests were ran with Identical hardware, configurations and correct native drivers.)The only difference was in the operating system. Here were the specs of the...

I have not received mine yet. You can always download it through the Solidworks customer portal though if you'd like it now. I have tested 2009 again 2008 and it is amazing! It processes so much faster. When I ran a benchmark with 2008 it took 180 seconds and with 2009 it took 138 seconds...

If you have a 32bit operating system you should have 3gb of ram in you computer. Solidworks will only use 2 of it, but the other GB with be put to good use elsewhere. Your processor is very weak. You should try and get a hold of an AMD Athlon X2 FX 6000 or higher. You really want around 3ghz...

I've been using solidworks for about 3 years now and have never taken the time to ask, but now I can't take it anymore. Is there a way to keep my toolbars the same all of the time? Like AutoCad, or pretty much any program for that matter. I don't always use the same templates and I don't want...

windows is recognizing i have 8GB as well.

I have a PC with Windows XP 64 on it and solidworks x64 2008. My pc has 4gb ram in it and when I run a benchmark, it takes about 180 seconds total(I/O about 55 sec.). If I keep everything the same, but use 8gb ram the benchmark runs the exact time. My I/O, CPU, GPU are all virtually identical to...

I want to know if there is a way or filter or something that when I click on a face of a part(in an assembly) it picks the whole part vs. that face? Is there a way to pick the sub-assembly it's part of by clicking that face? I tire of selecting a face, then finding the highlighted part in my...

I'm going to build a new PC to run solidwork 2008 and I'd love your guys expertise! Currently when I run the solidworks benchmark, I clock at about 250 seconds total. Here's the stuff that really matter that I'm currently using: SATA 7200RPM HD 3 GB DDR2 Matched 400mhz RAM 256 MB Firegl 7200...

Thanks, yeah the catch is that it has to have it's own features. Maybe someone has created an add-in.

Is there a way to mirror a piece and make it it's own seperate part? I need a right and left hand part which needs to be unlinked to each other and fully editable(has all the features just like the original) Is it possible? Thanks, Joel Solidworks 2008 SP4.0

I'd really like to have it preset. I've noticed that when I add a sheet, Solidworks asks me to select a template. So I believe there should be a setting somewhere to permanently have an alternate template on additional sheets.

When I create a drawing from my part, I also need to create additional sheets within that drawing for welds, inpection and so on. On each sheet that I add, I want my title block to be different than the primary page(reduced in size). I don't want to simply create 6 sheets or something pre-setup...

I don't know what happened, but when I try and modify my dimension heights the text box is grayed out so I can't select it. I can still use my styles manager. Any Ideas of what is going on?
