    Survey -Who is using 64 bit SW?

    There are ~5 of us using SW 2007 x64 on Windows x64. We have the same issues with drivers although our IT guy is starting to find more. We have identified some quirks with the x64 version of SW, but not more than with the typical yearly update. There are two issues that we have which are...

    2007 SP2.2 PDM Works - Slow?

    The issue has been resolved. Our IT person was in direct contact with SW, but the first representative took us down the wrong path. The second recommended we do what Bradley mentioned. That seemed to work. Nick

    2007 SP2.2 PDM Works - Slow?

    1. We are in the same building 2. Our server runs Server 2003. Our IT Tech just informed me that he was applying the latest 2003 MSE update? I'm not sure what that means, but I hope it works. Nick

    2007 SP2.2 PDM Works - Slow?

    We have just upgraded from SW 2006 to SW 2007 SP2.2. SW 2006 and PDM Works 2006 worked great with our workstations(x64 and x32), network and server. Since upgrading, SW 2007 runs extremely slow when the PDM Works add-in is loaded. Once in a great while, I can succefully check-in a simple...

    Dual Install SW 2006 32bit and 64bit

    I have the most recent driver from Logitech installed.

    Dual Install SW 2006 32bit and 64bit

    Hello, I was recently upgraded to a 64bit workstation running Windows x64 along with SW 2006 SP3.4 and SW 2006 x64. I have a Logitech Spacemouse that I have become very accustom to using. The Spacemouse runs perfectly with SP3.4, but the 3Dcontrol add-in is not available in the 64bit version...

    Assembling a deck of cards

    I have never actually done this, but it makes sense in my head: Try creating a layout sketch in the card part file which incorporates the angular relationship. Then, create a mate reference which references the angled line in the sketch and an edge of the hole in the middle of the card. Once...

    Results Tracking

    Hello, I am looking for ideas on ways to track results quickly and accurately. How do you keep track of results from load condition #1 through #10 for 5 different designs? I have been using Word to keep a running log of the analysis, but it is cumbersome to copy and paste/insert the results...

    Run All Studies - Issue

    Hello, I am having problems with the Run All Studies command. I am able to run the studies indiviually and get results. However, when I try to run all studies, the log file tells me that no loads or boundary conditions are present. What am I missing? I am using COSMOSWorks 2006...

    Renaming in PDM Works

    I had problem renaming a part file. To make a long story short, I spent 1 hour on the phone with my VAR and Solidworks. The best suggestion they had was to restart the vault service on the server. I followed their suggestion and the problem was solved. Apparently, the file structure had to...

    Should I do my Masters

    I completed my MS directly after receiving my BS. However, my future wife was on still on campus and I wanted the MS for personal satisfaction. I don't use it in my current job. You need to ask yourself why you want the MS degree. Do you want to get more knowledge in a specific area or do...
