opening new AutoCAD session causes Solidworks to refresh views
opening new AutoCAD session causes Solidworks to refresh views
(OP)
Anyone know what the best way is to deal with this problem.
I'm running Solidworks 2009 and if I have a solidworks model open, then decide to open a session of autoCAD. AutoCad will stall stating at the command prompt,"refreshing all views."
If I go back to Solidworks while AutoCAD is doing the above, you can see the model being cycled through every standard view. Once it's finished autocad opens. It's a time consuming pain in the neck.
Anyone have a similar problem? Thanks in advance.

The best way to have less problems is to install SW first, then ACAD, otherwise SW will take over how the OS, ACAD, and registry work.

Uninstall that and I suspect your issue will go away.

I did a couple of dwg imports, which worked okay, but I didn't expect SW to hack AutoCAD permanently as a result.
I'll remember to remove DwgPartner.

I'd hate to have to reinstall everything.

We removed all SW the links and that fixed our issue... we had nothing in the file when we were done and the problem went away.

I'm not getting the cycled refreshed views anymore. So that is good.
My only concern is that could this corrupt Solidworks in any way.
I have the DwgPartner folder saved in case something goes buggy.
