Kick-ass computer = slow SolidWorks
Kick-ass computer = slow SolidWorks
(OP)
My company recently upgraded me to a new fast workstation:
For example, here are the load times for a 100-part assembly:
Network drive: 211 seconds
C: drive (network enabled): 170 seconds
C: drive (network disabled): 6 seconds
I understand how a slow network can increase the load times, but why is loading from my local drive hampered by the mere existence of a network?
I've been a SWX user for over 7 years and have checked all the usual optimization settings.
Any suggestions?
- Xenon 3.7 GHz CPU
- 32GB memory
- Nvidia Quadro K2000 video card
- 750 GB HDD
- Windows 7

That one fix made assemblies load 3 to 10 times faster.
