Solidworks freezing up
Solidworks freezing up
(OP)
I hava an issue with SW locking up while editing parts outside an assembly. If I edit one part while the assembly is open and then click back into the assembly window the program freezes. Doesn't matter how complex the assembly is I've tried with two cubes, make one bigger and the program locks up. System is a Dell workstation twin Xeons, 1GB of ram and nVidia 3400 vid card with latest driver. If I stay in the assembly I can run all day.

RE: Solidworks freezing up
Thanks for the info on repairing an installation.
RE: Solidworks freezing up
I just delete the offending references in the sketch and leave it alone. It's annoying because I want the references to work and auto-update--so it means manual updating--tedious.

RE: Solidworks freezing up
This seems to be a problem with SW thinking there is a circular reference. And there is--sort of. One part refers to another part in the assembly that was perhaps inserted after the edited part? I'm not sure--haven't thought it through enough. But I would make similar references in older/other SPs and not see this problem.
My system is fast and I can watch it go through a rebuild process in the task bar below--it rebuilds every feature of every part with references each time I return to the assembly. Sometimes it seems to rebuild some of the parts more than once. My old system would take up to two minutes for this process to complete--the new system is much faster. An old system would flip out and perhaps crash.

RE: Solidworks freezing up
Anyone have any ideas?
I have a Dell Workstation x64 Dual core with 2 GB of ram, Windows XP pro and nVidia 3400 video card with the latest SolidWorks driver, and the SolidWorks button turned on the card. This Dell Workstation is only used for SolidWorks 2006 sp3.4, no e-mail, no web surfing, and no games. I defrag once a week, delete the C:\Documents and Settings\%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp directory every reboot. I turn off my virus protection. I have removed everything Black Viper says I can remove.

RE: Solidworks freezing up
If you are still having the same problem, try shutting down SolidWorks and remove the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / SolidWorks
(If necessary, enlist the help of your IT department to help you do that, since deleting the wrong thing in the registry can wreck your computer.)
Then start SolidWorks again. You'll lose your custom settings, but that should get SolidWorks out of Twilight Zone mode. Doing a repair on the install should accomplish the same thing, but in my experience, that doesn't always happen.

Close SolidWorks
Go to START - SOLIDWORKS - SOLIDWORKS TOOLS - SolidWorks Rx
Scroll down to the bottom of the diagnostics screen and select "bypass Tools/Options settings for the next session"
Try to complete your task - it normally works for me!
