Slow 2005
Slow 2005
(OP)
I have just upgraded to 2005 and have noticed a general slowing down.
This is particularly bad when sketching. When drawing a line, circle or rectangle the line etc.. no longer follow the cursor. Also when placing dimensions the dimension does not move with the cursor.
I dont think it is a system thing as it happens when nothing else is running and I am sketching the first part.
Is there a setting I am missing or is this usual.

RE: Slow 2005
Also did you do an upgrade or a new install of SW05? If you did and upgrade uninstall FAQ559-488 and clean out registry, etc... and reinstall SW05 fresh.

RE: Slow 2005
When you draw a circle, the line doesn't follow the cursor so you can not see what you're drawing...then when you release the mouse button, the circle appears, sometimes really different in size to what you're expecting. Or when drawing a dimension, the dimension and lines that mark the dimension don't appear until after the you release the mouse button.

RE: Slow 2005
If you mean any other drivers I try to keep up to date.
RE: Slow 2005
2004 was uninstalled from ADD/REMOVE programs and 2005 installed.
The registry was not cleaned because I didnt know about it.
Before I touch this I need to be fairly certain that it is worth the risk.
RE: Slow 2005
Should be more stable now. I originally installed from the download and then applied SP 0.1--that's probably part of the problems I experienced.
Check out the FAQs on a complete uninstall/reinstall.

RE: Slow 2005
Your card 550 - Should be using for Win2K 53.03 - which you can download from www.nvidia.com
You should have cleaned the registry out after uninstalling SW04 - FAQ559-488

RE: Slow 2005
Anyhow, my FX1100 with the 53.03 drivers sometimes exhibited some of the behavior being described. So I don't think they'll solve the problem.
RE: Slow 2005
But if you use drivers that are not certified by SW, then your taking a chance at your own risk. IMO when you do that you can't blame SW for those results and if you cal your VAR I'm sure they will tell you to switch to the version of drivers SW has posted.

RE: Slow 2005
The reality is that modern computers are not dedicated to a single program. I use a variety of programs which each have different requirements. If I have problems, the normal response from technical support is to install the latest drivers. So now as a matter of routine I maintain my computer by installing the latest drivers.
I am now being told to use drivers that are over 12 months old.
I understand that to test every driver on every operating system in every instance is time consuming but this feels like a bit of a cop out.
But I will try it.
RE: Slow 2005
There used to be a command that optimized the display for pan and zoom. Maybe this flushes out the system but I cant find it anymore.
Anyone got any ideas.
RE: Slow 2005
Just because the driver is certified by solidworks does not make it the best driver to use.
RE: Slow 2005
From my understanding they do have some people at SW that tests these drivers for all the cards, OS and SW Version.
Sorry to hear that the drivers didn't work for you. Try this FAQ559-1058 and see if this doesn't help you. if neither of these work then it's not a video card problem at all.
I also have the Quadro 500 FX on another machine here, and the 53.03 drivers work great on that machine as well. I think there is more going on then just SW on your machine.. maybe?

RE: Slow 2005
(it is now closer to my favourite Solid edge than ever)
In the overall scale of improvements this is a minor hiccup, its just anoying to loose something that you didn't realise was important.
