redraw problem

I just started to use SolidWorks adn I noticed right away that some lines of the scetch appear and dissappear as they please. I can correct it manually by pressing CTRL-R every second but it gets annoying when working on a serious project...

Is there a solution to this?

thank you,

Of course there is...
Right click on the toolbar, choose customize/commands and drag the 'redraw' icon to your chosen toolbar.
Bye the way, if you searched the help topics for 'redraw' it would brobably come up with this answer - it is a very poweful tool.

However, I experience the same problem sometimes and it is due to the graphic card i am using - not much to do about that, though U can change the vie to wireframe or hidden in gray to improve it.

Graphics Card problem.............

I think you should make sure you have the latest driver for your graphics card installed. Also, go to the SW website, and make sure your card is one that is listed on their "approved" list.

MadMnago most likely hit it on the head. 9 out of 10 times getting the latest a greatest driver for that card will solve the issue. BBJT CSWP

 

some AMD processors require a patch to run properly... i used SolidWorks 2001 on machines with and without the patch - identical hardware and OS - and the redraw speed is instantaneous on the patched one (small assemblies)
