    Solidworks slows to a crawl with 1000's of holes

    Unfortunately turning off HLR makes no difference. I have suppressed the pattern and when I attempt to unsuppress it takes a good 20 minutes - extremely unproductive!

    Solidworks slows to a crawl with 1000's of holes

    We have gigabit cards making the network very fast. Opening the file is not the issue its when I attempt to change a dimension within the hole pattern.

    Solidworks slows to a crawl with 1000's of holes

    HT is only support in P4 processors with 800Mhz FSB. My processor is only a 2.4G CPU with a 533Mhz FSB so therefore I dont have HT.

    I dont have the option to disable HT in the Bios - is there an alternative method of disabling?

    Solidworks slows to a crawl with 1000's of holes

    The machine I am using is a P4 2.4G which should be more than enough processing power. We are running SW03-SP5.1. I tried opening the assembly on a P4 3.2G machine and I experienced the same slow issue - it took 25min to perform the simple task of changing the hole diameter. The test file you...

    Solidworks slows to a crawl with 1000's of holes

    It seems that the problem is a CPU issue as the task manager indicates that CPU usage is at 100% and the RAM usage tops out at 500meg. The machine I am using has 2gig of RAM.

    Solidworks slows to a crawl with 1000's of holes

    I have a drawing with 1000 or so holes and it takes close to 20 minutes to open. I have read previously that solidworks is not good at handling so many holes. Has anyone else experienced such a major slowdown with Solidworks. I have a pentium 4 2.4 Gig machine with 2 gig RAM

    Mass deployment of an API or macro

    Hi JNR, The update process that your programmer implements is exactly what I'm looking for - a simple way for the 50 or so workstations to update tools. I look forward to TheTicks post.

    This might sound like a very silly

    Thanks TheTick thats cleared things up.

    This might sound like a very silly

    I have read a number of threads that refer to creating a solidworks addin using an Addin wizard. Is there such a thing?

    This might sound like a very silly

    This might sound like a very silly question but I can not seem to find the Addin wizard icon. Do I need to install and further software?
