I have a P4 3.0GHz with 1GB RAM and an ATi Fire GL X2 256t Graphics
card. The OS is XP SP2 and I'm running Solidworks 2005 at SP5.0.
When I create even the simplest of sketches and extrude it, it may take
4 or 5 seconds to generate the solid. Should I then create
another feature this is generated 'instantly' The following
feature may then take a few seconds to generate and the next one will
be instant. And so it goes on. I have had no success from
the Solidworks reseller/maintenance firm. I have created a
seperate partition on the hard drive and installed XP and Solidworks to
try and eliminate and interaction from another application. This
had no effect. I have also replaced the ATi graphics card with a
3DLabs WildCat Realizm 200. This made no difference either.
I have run the RX test within Solidworks and sent this to our
reseller/maintenance firm, but they are unable to solve the problem.
Has anyone experienced similar problems and hence can point me in the right direction to solve this.
