Minor gripes
Minor gripes
(OP)
At first I didn't think much of it, but now I'm noticing more and more SW hangs randomly when opening some models or drawings. Not only do I get the "Can not save file error", but I also experience these random hangs, where SW is trying to open a drawing that references a few models and it hangs half way into the opening and I have to kill the app. Or sometimes I just open a small assembly and it hangs.
So I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this, or maybe something is wrong with my system / installation / models..

Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?
RE: Minor gripes
Do you have stand alone SW or network version?
If network, what version do you have of SW, PDMW on your pc compared to the server versions?

Add ins that are on by default
eDrawings
Featureworks

I have not tried disabling the Space Explorer, I will and see what happens.

RE: Minor gripes
Unless you are actively using eDrawings, FeatureWorks, Animator and Utilities, de-activate them. It takes just a few seconds to re-activate them when needed.
RE: Minor gripes
I have eDrawings, Animator, PhotoWorks and Toolbox active all the time and never experience such problems--but I do nothing over a network, either.
