Better Sound Quality

Better Sound Quality

Better Sound Quality

(OP)
When checking for collisions with the sound option on, all I hear is an anemic "ding".  I would like to replace it with a more robust car crash or other sound file.  Do any of you know how to change this sound?

Incidentally, the very good help system failed me here.

RE: Better Sound Quality

No there is no way to change that sound that I have found. I guess your going to have to enjoy the default beep that it makes.

I don't think the help has anything to do with it failing you here. Its just not an option.

Fill out an enhancement request.

When in doubt, always check the help

RE: Better Sound Quality

I would think there's some sort of sound file that get's played for this.
I just looked in my SolidWorks folders and didn't find anything, but maybe it's a windows file?
I'd bet - if you can find the right one - you can change it.
Or you could get one of those novelty whistles and blow it real loud every time you hear a beep.

RE: Better Sound Quality

SolidWorks uses the Windows "Default Beep" to play this sound.  If you go into your Windows Control Panel under sounds, there should be a setting for the sound file used for 'default beep'.

By the way, don't use too long of a sound - on my system I can't do anything else until it finishes playing.
