Jim,
I have the exact same problem. I tracked it down to the Bluebeam add-in. If I tried creating an extrusion while the add-in was selected, SW2006 would crash every time. As soon as I de-select it, everything is fine again.

Hi rockguy,
Thanks for that link, looks very interesting.
Sorry, I should have posted a link to the information I was referring to. According to the system requirements page, there will be no support for native 64 bit versions of 2006 and beyond.
It will however be supported as a 32 bit...
rockguy,
You say that there will be a native 64 bit version of solidworks later this year. Where did you hear this? The SW website says that there will be no native 64 bit support for the forseeable future.
I use a small freeware program called TClockEx that shows me real-time RAM usage in the taskbar while I load large assemblies etc.
It has other advantages too, like letting you see the date in your taskbar, and allows you to copy the current date/time to add to drawings etc.
I may be speaking out of turn here sorry, because I am in Australia.
Our Reseller here is offering a free upgrade from SW Office to SW Office Professional before April 15. (because they are discontinuing the SolidWorks Office product).
I too am doing what ctopher is doing macduff. All my method does is save the extra steps of inserting a new revision every time you create a new drawing (and also changing the date with a note).
I know it may sound trivial, but every extra step saved when creating about 20-30 drawings a day...
Todd,
I am sorry this is a bit belated, but this problem has been bugging me for ages, and I have only just found a way around it (it's quite simple too).
- I deleted the rev table from the drawing sheet.
- I then inserted a rev table into to the drg template.
- I added a new revision using...
No worries Scott, please do.
I am sorry that I can't offer any more help than that. Adding symbols and modifying existing symbols in this file is not an easy task unfortunately. It really is just a 'suck it and see' process of trial and error.
I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a help...
dickg,
Have you heard any more regarding this problem? I have recently upgraded to SW2004 sp4.1 and Bluebeam 2.2.8 and this problem still ocurs.
Anyone know if this problem has been fixed in SW2005?
Yes, the latest version of 3Dconnexion Software (v1.2 - released 10th Aug 2004) contains 3Dxware and the solidworks add-ins all in the one installer. For more information:
