From the article: "The cost of CAD is mainly inflated to the price we think it’s worth to our business. " wow do I disagree with that one. As a beta tester and tech support for a major cam program, the development and testing that goes into the software is phenomenal. All that for a relative...

Thanks for the tips guys, I think I figured it out. I always disable a bunch of startup programs in msconfig. Turning off SWboengine seems to have been the culprit. Re-enabling it solved the issues. Now I'm having some problems opening files from 06'. Computer just hangs. :(

2009 student edition, win 7 x64. Sw will not run, open a file or click desktop icon and I get a server busy message. Option of switch to or retry. "Switch to" opens the windows start menu search. any ideas? Tried with windows search and indexing enabled and disabled. oh, just saw the...

How can I switch all sheet formats (at once) in a multi-sheet drawing? Right now I do it sheet by sheet. oh,2006. thanks!

Thank you!

Hi all, Two dimension questions- 1) I imported all my model dimensions into a drawing, however when cleaning them up and re-arranging I inadvertently deleted a few. Can I re-import only select dimensions? 2) I know it's a major faux-pa, but is their any way to dimension hidden lines...

Thanks guys!

Can't remember for the life of me, when drawing half a profile for a revolve isn't there some way to enter diameter values?

Sorry, 3ghz p4. 3mhz would be really funny. :o) Got any good recommendations on overclocking instructions/tips? MotherBoard Intel 865PERL. I really can't complain about my system, it has been rock solid for all the years I've had it. A while back I hacked my 4200ti to supposedly perform...

Ok, you guys are gonna laugh at my system. 3.0 mhz 1gb ram gforce 4200ti No recent graphic driver updates about 40g free space out of a 120 hd. 3d spaceball add-in. again old skool, 4000 flx. system maintained well (it needs all the help it can get). clean temp files, regular defrags, etc...

Update! It works! Performed the import export wizard to export my settings. Backed up my reg. settings, then deleted the solidworks entry. Restarted SW and it rebuilt registry with default values. Saving an assembly now would work! Unfortunately I lost all my toolbars and such, I used...

Thanks fellas, Yes even the most basic assembly will not save. That's heading me down the road of a software issue, versus a hardware issue. Also it used to work. System is indeed a bit older, 3.0 mhz 1gb ram. I'll try the recommended procedure of rebuilding the reg. files. I did however...

Hello all, Running 06' sp3 here. (desperately wish we could afford to upgrade to 08/09). I cannot save an assembly. SW just hangs and freezes upon trying to save. I have to task manager and force quit. For the past several years I've been ok, but recently not. I can't ascertain any windows...

Hello, I've got a wing and a fuselage as seperate parts. I'm trying to create a nice fat fillet to join them. So far I've created a new part within the assembly, and joined the fuselage and wing. Then made the fillet between the two. How now do I break out out the wing again, with the...

Yes there are some curved faces that need to be flattened. Thanks for the link to those nice examples. It's funny there are so many nifty sheet metal tools and features, which one tends to associate with true "sheet metal" .025-.125 thicknesses and ideology. However alot of the heavier...
