software crashes in ProE, Solidworks
(OP)
Hi, I have a question for CAD users - I use ProE daily and am frustrated by its tendency to crash in the middle of a session. This is a hassle because of the time it takes to load the software again, and even more importantly, losing unsaved work. I'm like to know if Solidworks has this tendency as well. I've heard a lot of debating of the two tools (as well as others) but I've rarely heard this point mentioned, which in my mind is one of the most important liabilities of ProE.
I experienced similar issues in ProE 2001 and Wildfire v2.0, which I'm currently using.
My question is specific: does Solidworks (latest rev, or other) have a tendency to crash, or not? Any feedback from folks who've used both is especially appreciated. I only ask about these two packages because I'm not really considering any others as something my company might use.
Thanks,

RE: software crashes in ProE, Solidworks
I saw ProE 2001, same datecode running on similar computers but not identical. One was OK the other a lot of problems. What was wrong? For sure, not ProE. There was 2 different OS on the machines. And different video cards.
I suggest you to dowload the latest drivers for your cards and also check the virtual memory.
