Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
(OP)
SW2005 - Windows XP - from Local drive;
- opened detail
- opened assy
- saved both under 2005
- exit SW
- started SW 2005 again
And now the problem:
- opened detail
- opened assy (in this order)
Assy slow like hell on ROTATION/PAN
- Closed both
- Exit SW
- Reopen SW
- open assy
- open detail (in this order)
Now detail slow like hell - that is Always the second solid model opened.
Haven't tried any more to open yet.
Anybody has seen that ???
After that used CONVERSION WIZARD and converted the models from SW 2004 to 2005 . Problem remains.
Thanks for answers - I am desperate.

How much "normal" RAM?
How much graphics card RAM?
How much Virtual Memory?
RE: Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
What pisses me of is that there was NO such problem with the solid models under 2004 as recently as yesterday.

**************
Now, another experiment - forget about previous assy - just tested with two PARTS,
- sprocket, file size 383 kb
- roller, file size 147 kb.
The second part (Roller) slow like hell.
RE: Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
Also list to us the amount of Virtual memory you have allocated.

Did you do a "fresh" clean install or simply install over SW2004?

RE: Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
check http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/videocard... to find the latest driver for your card, or better still upgrade your card to a certified one. I suggest the nVidia quadro fx500 for a starter.
RE: Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
However you might find something here that might help - Thread559-87811 - if you can't get this to work then you should Highly considered (Honestly you should any way) replacing that card with one SW supports - Like a Quadro 500 FX - http://www.digitallyunique.com/vcqfx500-pb.html - Also see CBL link too.

RE: Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
But to get back to your question directly - the problem is your video card. Because as you rotate your models on the screen your Video card has to refresh itself each time it moves. The reason the one is fast and the other is slow, is because of the limitation of that card with multiple windows open at one time. - If you had went to CBL's website link (www.solidworks.com) you would have read about a limitation with mulitple windows open.
With the information you just provided above. You proved the case of the video card being the problem. The best solution is for you to change cards. Your second best choice would be or try the thread link I gave you above.

RE: Verrrrrrrrr.....y slow ROTATION/PAN of second open model
I'm with SBaugh. Pan and Rotation speed dependent on the number of opened windows it's a typical issue of low memory video card or opengl bug.
Maybe you can improve your system behaviour with one or more of the following:
- install better video card drivers (not always the latest is the best to run SW)
- adjust the Opengl settings of the video card (try to find some information on the net) specialy those regarding buffers and swaping
- if none of the above works, change SW option to software Opengl
Good Luck
