    Shape Feature will not be supported in SW 2010

    Has anyone seen this message in 09: Warning Shape Feature1 - The Shape Feature will not be supported in SolidWorks 2010. We recommend that you replace this feature by a Freeform feature type. While I am not a big fan of this feature, it was very useful to the industrial design of the shape of...

    2009 SolidWorks Task Scheduler Convert Files

    Has anyone used the new Task Scheduler method of file conversion for 2009? You would assume that when you add a folder, that it would only convert the files that are in the folder, but that is not the case. It goes after all ref's, even toolbox refs. Somehow, it even finds some broken refs. It...

    SolidWorks Shell Extension Server

    Anytime I open a directory which contains a large number of SW files, whether it be in Windows (XP x64), the SW open dialog, or in the SW file explorer, I get this a crash of the Solidworks File Extension Server. The directory will hang, and then finally the files will show. It always happens if...

    Hyperthreading

    It has always been said that hyperthreading should be disabled. I installed SW07SP4 on a Pentium 4, 3.4 GHz machine and downloaded Anna Wood's Punch Holder to benchmark it. With hyperthreading disabled the feature statistics total was 306 sec. I then enabled hyperthreading and was blown away...

    SW and Adobe Reader 7.0 Problems

    I've been converting a lot of pdf manufacturer prints into parts for a new project I'm working on. I have SW06 4.1 open on the left and Adobe Reader 7.0 on the right. I am finding having these two programs open together at the same time is making SW quite unstable. I'll crash when skethching in...

    NextEngine

    For those of you at SW World, I saw the impressive Next Engine 2.5K scanner but I am a skeptic on the actual Polygons to NURBS interface. Does anyone have any info on this. If there is a new Surfacing Plug in for Polys in Solidworks I would buy it just to have that. RFUS

    Photoworks Phlying

    Just did some Photoworks Stuff for the first time on my new dual core rig and it is absolutely flying. Its so nice to watch the two CPU graphs ride 100 and have a pw buffer animation finish in minutes. Maybe I will get in on Rob's Comp since I'll have all this free time now. I made some major...

    2006 crashing

    I love spline polygon controls, loft section additions, sketch blocks, and new windows style feature manager select, but with that said.... I have crashed every day on 2006. Today it was going to the hole wizard. Yesterday it was using a midpoint selection filter with a feature. The day before...

    Flex Feature

    I have been attempting to use the flex feature and find that at times it works, but surfaces will later disappear, or it has crazy results. I try it in scenarios on manifold surfaces where G1 continuity should be satisfied. It seems as though SW is almost at the point where they have the ability...

    Large .stl Surface Imports

    I have been importing terrain elevation surface files into SW04 via the stl import. If I create a file consisting of a 224x224 grid, SW can import the surface file. This is a surface consisting of 100352 triangles. If the grid is 225x225 the message 'unable to create solids or surfaces' is...
