SolidWorks & COSMOS 2007 SP0 have been released 1

[SBaugh]

I have not noticed that at all. I am using the Quadro FX 1100. The graphical glitch i saw was when I had the Tools\Options window open and part of it wnet missing because of another explorer window I had open.

Idid recently get a 2 drawing files one from SW06 and one while working on it in SW07 as a SW07 file, corrupt on me. THe SW06 file would not save to the new SW07 version. SW is looking into the issue. Other then that I have not seen much else.

On the official SW forum, there is a thread found at "Customer Experience" > "2007 is clearly buggy, why release sp0?".

http://forum.solidworks.com/swforum/default.asp?b=1&g=2&m=4548

I haven't used SW07 yet because it's too young (SP0), but those on that forum are griping quite a bit about it. I will give SW credit for leaving that thread on their forum; not censoring those who slam their product.

I just finished reading that....I find it interesting how many times I've read that similar thread everytime a new release comes out. It's like reading the same thing over and over again.

At SW is not like AutoCAD and does things like that... AutoCAD won't allow bashing of their product... I think sometimes bashing of a product will make them try harder... AutoCAD never done anything for their customers so when they bashed the product they removed the thread... because they didn't plan to help their follow customers... JMO

Yeah, while I can't trace the SPRs from the beta's, in contrast to the folks on the 'official' forum, allmost all bug reports I filed got fixed in later releases, so people at SW do listen...
Personally I feel that 2007 SP0 is the most stable SP0 release I've seen (2001 and up), better than SW2006 SP1.

Working for a VAR I see it in a much different light then you as a user. Being in this position I can tell you this SW is making a system that is going to be benefit the users so much more. Its going to take some ability to overcome the changes, but in the end (like always with SW) it will be much better in the end for all customers.

JMO again!

SW07 is dropping support of Win2000. Does anyone know if this affects the SW07 Viewer? I am wondering if anyone has (or can) checked to see if the Viewer will work with SW07 files and Win2000?

My VAR was semi-clueless.

My problem is there are a lot of Viewer users in my company that are still on Win2K, and their Department Head does not have the buget to upgrade his users to newer operating systems. If I could know for sure that the SW07 Viewer works on Win2K then upgrading is a non-issue for usu.

MadMango.

We had the same problem a while back with the SW viewer. We have some people in Windows 98. It was at that time we went to E drawings for our viewer and this seems to work just fine for us anyway.

No, viewer did not run, the answer below.

Windows 2000 is not a supported operating
system. Please upgrade to a recommended
version of Windows:
