Solidworks question (confused)
(OP)
Hi everyone
Can someone tell me the difference between SW Premium 2009 SP0.0 and these versions, SW Premium SP2.0 and SP4.0. Do they come with extra stuff?
thanks

I'm still at 2009.0, because my VAR has not asserted that any of the bugs I complain about have been fixed, and installing a SP always costs me at least a day.

Sometimes an SP will include new functionality, but not often.
RE: Solidworks question (confused)
You need a subscription with your VAR to download these updates.

I just updated from SP3 to SP4.1 at home and work. Both took less than 1.5hrs.
A full uninstall and reinstall should only take about 2.5hrs or less.

thanks again

Even if it did, I don't have 1.5 hrs to spare.

SW2009 came with a bug that meant drawing views sometimes didnt update properly after model changes. It wasnt fixed until SP2.1
If you are still on SP0 your drawings could have errors.
You should consider updating and checking all your drawings for errors.

Assuming you have time for lunch of course.

The meeting lasted three hours, which is about 2:59 longer than it should have, so SW had plenty of time to do its thing. Then I clicked on "Read What's New", and I'm up to page 21 of 178, and it's still not really clear what's new in 2009.4.1.
Lemme try firing up SW:
Well, I haven't tried a drawing yet, but the modeler is working no worse than usual.

I believe the "What's New" is for SWX09, not for SP4.X.

They normally range from 250MB to 2+GB

This shortens the time it takes to select all faces you need or the invert selection method prior to feature icon.
SP3.0 added support for translation of Pro/E models created in Wildfire 4.0 which was not possible in earlier SPs. Circuit Works was also added in at a SP3.0 level
