Speed of inserting toolbox parts
Speed of inserting toolbox parts
(OP)
We have our "SolidWorks Data" (formerly known as "Toolbox Parts") directory on a server that everyone in our group accesses all day long. Nothing about this server is slow. We work with 1000 piece assemblies off of it just fine.
However, when I go to insert a toolbox fastener of any type it takes between 30 seconds and 5 minutes for the box to pop up where you can choose your fastener size.
The server is located close to our primary group and we have a 100MB connection to it, this is when the access takes about 30 seconds.
Our secondary group is about a mile away in another building, and they only have a 10mb connection. I know thats pathetic, but that is the way it is right now. We do have fiber optic cabeling going over there, the hardware just needs updating. Anyway when somone from that building goes to insert a toolbox fastener the wait is between 2-5 minutes, usually closer to 5 min. The largest toolbox fastener we use has 15 configs right now and is about 2.3 meg in size.
Has anyone else seen there toolbox parts get so large so quickly, and have you seen the same type of speed issues?

Also who type of network connection speed do you have , 10,100, 1 gig?
RE: Speed of inserting toolbox parts
Initially we experienced the same slowdown. I think that there is an old webcast on the toolbox setup on the SolidWorks website.

Low performance in displaying toolbox 'select properties' dialog box when custom parameters has items checked (shared environment)
Fixed in sp4 which should be released soon.

I've applied SP 4.0 but that makes no difference.
