    laptop choice

    The link provided by Nella95 is a great starting point. Just keep in mind that the M90 was discontinued by Dell several years ago. We standardize on Dell Precision laptops, and we have been very happy with them overall. Just make sure your video card and video driver match what's on the...

    Is SolidWorks going out of business?

    As a general rule, anytime one CAD company starts trash-talking another CAD company, I don't believe a word of it. I've known several sales reps over the years who were either laid off or got better offers from the competition; I'm sure you can guess what happened to all their trash-talking...

    3GB switch in Solidworks

    Here's more info from the Microsoft website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791558.aspx Over the years, I have not personally seen much of a benefit from the 3GB switch. I usually work with large assemblies containing complex parts, so an extra 1GB of usable RAM is not enough. It...

    I believe your VAR is the best place to coordinate software trials.

    Where I can download software Circuitworks

    CircuitWorks comes with SolidWorks Premium. What license do you currently have? http://www.solidworks.com/sw/mechanical-design-software-matrix.htm

    What programs similar to Circuit works ?

    Look under "Partner Products" on the SolidWorks website: http://www.solidworks.com/sw/products/search/index.htm What are you looking for in particular? Why is CircuitWorks not acceptable for what you are trying to do?

    STEP files from SW to Pro-E

    Have you tried IGES? Or maybe a different flavor of STEP (203 vs. 214)?

    Video Card

    What issues have you had? What OS are you using? Is the SW-recommended video driver installed? Have you looked at the SW website to see which video cards are recommended? http://www.solidworks.com/sw/videocardtesting.html

    Solidworks question (confused)

    The short answer to your second question is no. "SP" refers to a service pack update. Service packs are primarily bug fixes, but every now and then, a function will be added or modified if there is enough demand from customers. To see exactly what was changed in a particular SP, log into the...

    SolidWorks World 2010

    One of our users would like to go so he can tell everybody what he thinks of SW's ability to manage large assemblies. [hairpull3]

    SW Update, Hole Wizard/Toolbox not found error

    Any particular reason you didn't want to try SW2008 SP5.0?

    SW2009 SP4.0

    macduff, You are correct.

    SW2009 SP4.0

    Our only x64 user just told me the reaction force reporting in Simulation doesn't work properly after the upgrade to SP4. I'm not sure yet if it's an isolated incident; I will have to investigate.

    SW2009 SP4.0

    So far, so good at my workplace. I just upgraded a user from 2009 SP1 to 2009 SP4 because he was crashing on a regular basis. The upgrade seems to have fixed that problem.

    Correction... for your video card, SWX only shows compatibility info for release 2007, period.

    open gl option toggling on own

    For your video card, SWX only shows compatibility info for release 2007 and later. Are you running Windows XP on that machine? You haven't specified which video driver you are using; is it the one recommended by SWX? http://www.solidworks.com/sw/videocardtesting.html I saw a similar issue a...

    Laptop for solidworks

    Agreed about nVidia Quadro cards being better than GeForce. (The SW hardware compatibility list would also agree.) However, I have had bad experiences with Vista. We have two machines running Vista at my workplace... one has x64 and the other has x32. Both have had their installations...

    PDMWorks Workgroup-Is it Dead?

    I hope PDM Workgroup isn't dead. A small company like mine doesn't have the money or the need for PDM Enterprise.

    I'm still trying to get permission to upgrade to SW08. Sigh...
