    2006 graphics performance

    just installed 2006, and it works all right, but the graphics performance is down at least 50%. Anyone experienced this? The settings are the same as for 2005. This seems to be the problem for all the later versions of SW, serious degradation in performance every time. Tried installing the...

It seems it can not display concave edges. Does anyone of you brilliant guys know if it exists, or is possible to make, an...

It runs Antialiasing 6x like a dream, but only one document at the time.number of parts in that assembly does not seem to affect it, as I have tested with 1000+ parts. If other documents are opened, it only applies 2x AA to them or lower, and...

    Texture scaling problem sw2004

    I have a problem scaling textures in SW2004. The slider allow for some scaling, but not by far enough. It seems SW is starting out with the total size of the assembly as a reference, and automatically adjust the texture to what it thinks is all right. This would be ok if I only could ajust the...

    Only had this proble earlier when exporting piping assembly drawings to autocad. the centerlines of my piping assemblys would show up ( even if they where supposed not to) offset from the rest of the assembly, giving me a lot of extra work deleting them in autocad. Now I am using these piping...
