    How much memory is optimal for ST5

    Thanks guys! Upgraded to Win7, with 250GB SS HD , increased to 8GB memory and the Laptop works like a charm. Good for another year of life.

    3D Connexion Spacepilot Vista 64 - SE ST5: Crashes immediately upon trying to navigate with the SP

    I have 3DConnexion Spacepilot that I use back and forth between my desktop and laptop depending if I am working at the home office or at my client's location. I have no problems with the laptop which is a Win7 machine, but on the home computer which is Vista64, whenever I try to use the 3D...

    How much memory is optimal for ST5

    (Hit submit too soon...) I'm also running 64 bit SE on the 64 bit Vista O/S.

    How much memory is optimal for ST5

    Thanks gervaij: I do tend to run with a lot of open programs on the computer, but I did notice a difference immediately after loading ST5. I'm upgrading the HD to Solid State. I also read that running 64Bit SE is slower than running 32Bit SE on a 64 bit O/S. Not sure why this would be the case...

    Solid Edge Extrude (Ordered)

    The symmetric and non-symmetric double sided extrusion icons are toggles. You should notice that whichever one you used, it should be highlighted (activated). Click on it again and it will go back to the non-activated colour. Let me know if this is clear enough for you.

    How much memory is optimal for ST5

    I just installed ST5 in Vista 6Intel4 Business O/S. Have an Intel DuoCore E7200 2.53 GHz CPU on a P5QC motherboard with 4 GB RAM. Seems a bit slow now with ST5 with fairly small assemblies i.e. 5-10 parts - although some parts have many different faces i.e. it's a complex casting. I have been...

    2D Patterns - Circular Fill not showing as circle

    Thanks BC - I am using ST on a Core2 Duo machine with an Nvidia Quadro FX 2700 video card. I went in to the part file and ensured the colours were the same for the fill and hatch. Also went into the Styles definitions in both the part and the draft files and set the line width to black, 0.1 mm...

    2D Patterns - Circular Fill not showing as circle

    I am trying to create a 2D pattern for a screen printing operation - the pattern includes a large radius ring segment of 3 mm thickness. I need to fill the face to create a dark enough image on the draft. However when I do this, the nice smooth edges become 5 straight lines that approximate the...
