    Solidworks Screen goes blank, processor 25%

    Hi If I could suppress the hole pattern, that would make it much easier, but I can't. Other features are dependent on that pattern and I would not be able to build up the rest of the modell correctly. I have tried that allready, have been keeping some features suppresed, (or as many as I'm able...

    Well, I have been thinking about what you said "SW doesn't HAVE to run like a dog." Maybe there's something to it.. I´'m not working with assemblies only parts. But, they have really complex geometry, some of them containing 2500 x 1.5mm holes. So maybe it's not that strange that updates and...

    Hi again... Did try with the change in the "Use software OpenGL" box. Well, it works slightly better, the update time and sketch editing time is somewhat reduced.

    I can make any changes in the "Use software OpenGL", the box is gray and can not be edited. I do know that Xp can only use 3GB, would it then help to change 3Gb patch? That is 1G for the Xp and 2G for other applications?

    What he ment was that SW uses maximum 1G of CPU, and that this was some kind of standard setting.

    Hello, I have a similar problem with Sw 2006 as evolDiesel. Altough I am only working with parts, no assemblies, parts with rather complex geometries. I have new Dell computer with: 4x1G Intel Pentium III Xeon preoseccor, RAM: 4096MB, Nvidia Quadro FX 4600, 768MB. But the CPU usage is at...
