When SolidWorks 'freezes'
When SolidWorks 'freezes'
(OP)
It doesn't happen often - but every once and a while, SolidWorks will 'freeze' when you're doing a certain operation.
'freeze' = not completely frozen however I've never been able to wait more than 40 minutes for anything to happen.
In the past, I've found an alternate way to do the exact same thing. Now, I'm using SolidWorks to generate a bill of material for me. Is there an alternate solution out there using Excel-based bill of materials?

If either or both of these options are freezing on you... you could try Lenny's AssemblyBOM macro that will generate the BOM from the assembly and allow you to export that to excel.
I couldn't find the macro one Lenny's site (www.lennyworks.com), but found a link to it on eng-tips. Here is the thread that discusses it:
