    Survey: How often does Solidworks crash on you?

    My 2 cents: On the average I crash SW 2005 s.p. 0.1 about 4 to 6 times a day. Similarly in the past on SW 2004 and 2003. Working on local drive. Sometime I crash when SAVING the file !!! MS-DOS did not crash that often when saving a file !!!

    Is SP 1.1 any good ??

    Because I do not want to waste any time on installation just to discover new bugs (which would not be a big surprise considering the past). Thanks in advance for any replies

    "Translation" needed

    Fairly simple part, made from several extrusions (several features extruded one on the top of the previous one) Tried to do my first COSMOS analysis and got a message: What does it mean ???

    Has anybody got impression that LAYER function is totally messed up ?

    Since this morning I have a new computer and a new (another) video card. nVidia Quadro FX1300, the driver is 6.14.10.6722 The problems with LAYER on the dwg remain. Some stubborn "metal" refuses to be moved to another layer. I tried Componet Line Font, also tried open LAYER "Window" , had...

    Has anybody got impression that LAYER function is totally messed up ?

    In my case it's only the "parts" (that is the "metal") that do those weird things. So far I never had a problem with dwg "entities", that is DIMENSIONS, NOTES, BALLOONS ... etc.

    Has anybody got impression that LAYER function is totally messed up ?

    One more thing - whe I add a part to an assy and than go to the dwg, the added part is diplayed BLACK in all views and is on layer NONE (I guess by default). Now when (on the dwg) I go to a view and use Component Line Font and try to change the LAYER, LINE, THICKNES (of that new added part) it...

    Now, you are not going to believe this thinking that I must be smoking something ... For the past half an hour or so, I worked on some other dgws/parts (full screen), but that "wacky" dwg I was refering to earlier, was open, thou not on the screen ... I just clicked Windows (in SW session) and...

    Has anybody got impression that LAYER function is totally messed up ?

    Dennyd: Thanks, will investigate. In the mean time - just 5 minutes ago I added another projected view to 2 already existing views on the dwg. The previous 2 views had the (simple) assy "objects" (parts) on layer called OBJECT (layer color=green, diplayed color=green, O.K.). The just added...

    Has anybody got impression that LAYER function is totally messed up ?

    DesignSmith: Exactomundo ... and much more is not right ... You do not even need configurations, to have things messed up. What really ..... me off is the fact that those problems seem to be "random". You can have one assy dwg O.K. and next dwg, of similar complexity - messed up

    Has anybody got impression that LAYER function is totally messed up ?

    The problem I have is with layer we name OBJECT and another one called PHANTOM. We put "solid objects" on those layers. Those layers (like all others) have different colors. This is when we have 98% of problems Dimensions, notes - never a problem. Sometime problem with layer CENTER, where...
