Graphics card problem.
(OP)
I am running SolidWorks 2004 with SP2. My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. My problem happens when I open an assemly the using the hierarchy tree to open a sub-assembly. The sub-assembly opens with no display. the actual parts are there because you can highlight the edges and rotate it but nothing can be seen. Now if I open a part from either this sub-assembly or the original assembly, the problem is fixed until I open another assembly file from the hierarchy tree. This is very weird and frustating. Thanks for the help.

I have a Quadro FX500 that works great. I don't normally exceed 100 parts in an assembly, but my parts are normally quite complex. The card does a great job, even with RealView--which as NickE suggested, makes the Shinies smile.

Anyhow, us other mortals who are fettling around on the the consumer end of graphics goodness need not necessary shell out copius amounts of dosh to reach these higher graphics ecchelons. Essentialy our boards have the the same chips under the hood as those over-prized-pixels-on-steroids cards and with the RivaTuner utility you can unlock all this glory without shelling out a dime. This process of soft-modding your ordinary retail card into a Quadro or FireGlide beasty is however not for the technophobial fainthearted...its free but therefore not plug'n play
