2006 crashing
2006 crashing
(OP)
I love spline polygon controls, loft section additions, sketch blocks, and new windows style feature manager select, but with that said....
I have crashed every day on 2006. Today it was going to the hole wizard. Yesterday it was using a midpoint selection filter with a feature. The day before it was twice, using the feature manager drag select and then when I was using offset surfaces. I have lost lots of work every time. In 2005 I didn't feel the need to save after every thing I did because it was fairly stable. I'm going to go back to 2005 cause this is costing me to much time........
and they even took away the classic unhandled error and gave us a new gui for when we crash...great...
Rx gives all checks, XP SP2, NVidia FX 3000, 3.4GHz, 2Gig RAM ... yes my temp is clean....
It appears I am the only one with 2006 issues?

I hope you backed up your files before converting to 2006.

RE: 2006 crashing
Best thing is to do what PDM Admin suggested and do a clean uninstall and re-install. Then when you re-install each version make sure you point them to their own folders such as "SW2005" or "SW2006" doing this will ensure that the versions are completly seperate from each other.

RE: 2006 crashing
Did you upgrade your SW05 to SW06? I bet you did, since you obvisously don't have both running on your machine. (You can do that however, and should before going Production with a new major version). You should never do an upgrade, always do a new install of a major version.
To have 2 SW installed on the same drive you must first pick New install and then simply change the default path of the SW install to say something else: C:\Program files\Solidworks06
And if the above fails a clean uninstall and reinstall is in order.

RE: 2006 crashing
I obtained an error at the end of the 06 install, 1722- something about unable to install certain components, but after getting a hold of the var, SW told them it was something to do with network licencing, which does not apply to me, so they told me to not worry about it.
But, I just finished and 11 hour session while running two sessions of 06 on my dual monitors with no problems, so I am a little more optomistic today.
Thanks for the advice.
