RE: seeking for more fast animator

When you play through an animation, the process can rely heavily on your video card.  In fact, I have an FX-1400, and this card does not keep up with a rebuild in an animation.  So when I want to check the animation I drag the time line very slowly (and often need to move it back a bit and then forward when the graphics window gets jumbled) to see what the animation is really doing.  So, since SolidWorks is so dependent on the proper video card (and driver), it is a good idea to check out what you've got, as Scott said above.

Animator is very buggy.  You can get good results from it, but it takes much more time because the "rebuilds" often trash your key points and lots of other problems result when you have parts moved as a result of other parts being moved (dependent movement).

Ironically, when I save an assembly with an animation as an eDrawing, the animation in the eDrawing plays much more smoothly than in SolidWorks.  So I use this feature commonly with clients.  (The animation isn't rendered with PhotoWorks or anything, but the idea translates well.)
