SW 2010 - finetuning tips

[mezcal]

Hello.

Any of you out there have any finetuning tips that directly apply to SW 2010? I recently upgraded from '09 to '10 and experiencing some performance problems. One issue is that when I go to modify a part in an assembly and go to sketch mode, the cursor jumps around and the CPU usage maximizes out. Even creating a new part in sketch mode I have the same problem. Short of re-installing I could use any advise.

Thanks!!!

Dell 380
nVidia FX1400

Have you tried changing graphics drivers to the latest certified drivers for SW10 and your OS?

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of these Forums?

Just in case you didn't; (ignore if you did)
Uninstall the video driver, reboot, install the driver listed for the Dell 380 FX1400, reboot.

hey all.

all suggestions greatly appreciated. i had, as suggested, updated to the latest video driver when I had upgraded. I had also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. i did find the problem: it was the settings in the nVidia control panel. i had assumed (assumption is the root of all evil) that the settings would remain the same when upgrading the drivers. i made a note of this for the next upgrade. thanks again for your input and continued success!!!
