    Keep getting this error when trying to install.

     
    • admin 7:17 am on May 26, 2009 Permalink

      Like I mentioned in the last post you did with the exact same question/statement… I had also emailed you personally about doing a beta test on the new version, did you get that?

      “There is a new version of SolidJott just around the corner. The next version should not have this issue and will have some added features you will want to have. I hate to say this but could you wait a couple of days for me to have the new version finished up? If it is not released early next week I will look into this.

      Ben”

      Sorry but the answer to this does not change any currently and I see ‘Early next week” as before Wed MST midnight. My coders are hard at work and I am crossing my fingers to get you a working install ASAP.

    My pack and go won’t work at all, just freezes. Tried in SW explorer and windows explorer. Any Ideas? Win XP Pro Duo3Ghz 4GB ram.

      Can you expand on this. What steps are your taking? How many files? Working over a network? etc.

    • bagsas 1:19 am on March 10, 2009 Permalink

      Not over a network. As soon as I right click on a file in win explorer and go to pack n go it freezes explorer. The same happens in SW explorer as soon as I select even one file and click pack n go it just freezes and doesn’t work.

    • admin 2:37 am on March 10, 2009 Permalink

      Can you do the pack and go thru the file menu in SolidWorks?

    • Chris Serran 2:37 am on March 10, 2009 Permalink

      Do you have success with a Pack and Go when you open the assembly in SolidWorks?
      Which version of SolidWorks?

    • bagsas 2:41 am on March 10, 2009 Permalink

      None of the above, what ever I try it in it just freezes the program.

    • bagsas 2:42 am on March 10, 2009 Permalink

      Sorry SW2009 sp 2.1

    • duaner 12:02 pm on July 9, 2009 Permalink

      Any fix found for this? I have a brand new SW2009 SP3.0 install on XP Pro x64 and have what seems like is the same problem. I need this function on a weekly basis to do backups but SW just locks up and any mouse clicks result in the MS “Default Beep” sound. I always pack and go through the file menu. The only way to close SW is through Task Manager.

    Tags: desktop resources   

    Installed 2009 SP2 this morning and am now getting a message popping up that “you are running low on desktop application resources. Close some other aplications or close some solidworks drawings” Have never had this before. Any sugestions? 32 bit Dual 3Ghz HP 4GB Ram.

     
    • damnsolid 9:44 pm on January 14, 2009 Permalink

      One area worth investigating is desktop heap. If Desktop heap becomes exhausted, then the warnings will be generated when SolidWorks requests a new object to be displayed in the User Interface and there is not enough resources to display the object.

      It is possible to increase the desktop heap size to allow for more desktop resources to be allocated. It is important that you understand what portion of desktop resources are being depleted as arbitrarily changing values in the registry may have negative consequences and may not even address the root cause.

      Another area worth investigating is the use of 3GB switch. This has the ability to limit the use of desktop resources as you are effectively removing 1 GB of memory away from the system (kernel space). Desktop heap and other desktop resources are allocated from this area of Windows. To give you an idea, running with /3GB enabled will restrict the session view space from 48 MB to 20 MB because of constraints placed on the system. Desktop heap is allocated from within the session view space. Session view space is a memory buffer set aside in the kernel space to accomodate resources such as desktop heap and GDI. The 3GB switch could create conditions where session view space becomes exhausted and this could create negative side effects that you would not normally see without the 3GB switch. If these errors are common, a recommendation would be to consider running without the /3GB switch to see if this decreases the persistent desktop resource warnings. If running without the /3GB switch is not an option, then consider running fewer applications. If the persistent desktop resource warnings are replaced with “out of memory” errors, consideration for an x64 solution may be necessary as you would most likely be approaching the architectural limits with x32 computing.

      Review http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/01/04/desktop-heap-overview.aspx for more information on desktop heap and how to monitor usage to help determine if these warnings are the result of desktop heap exhaustion.
      Keep in mind that changing the interactive heap has the potential to decrease performance. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126962/

      Thanks for that info, I am using the 3GB switch and my default session view size was set to 48.
      Will have a play and see what I come up with.

    • CBL 5:47 am on January 15, 2009 Permalink

      Good info, damnsolid.

      In conjunction with the /3GB switch, the /userva=2900 switch can be used. This reduces the actual amount taken by the /3GB (3096MB) switch to 2900MB which is often enough to keep things running smoothly.

      I was going to say that! Play with it a bit through boot ups. If you want peek performance.

    • bagsas 4:19 pm on January 19, 2009 Permalink

      Thanks for the info and will look into it.

    My solid works 2009 SP 1 keeps crashing when closing a drawing. Have already saved it and when closing, crash. Any ideas?

     
    • admin 11:05 am on January 8, 2009 Permalink

      We need a lot more info. Tell us the operating system, the speed of the system i.e. 32 or 64 bit, if you are using 32 or 64 bit solidworks, where the files are located…

    • bagsas 4:14 pm on January 8, 2009 Permalink

      xp32 SW32, all files are local, Dual core 3GB, 4GB Ram, HP xw4600 Workstation. What happens, open part file, make drawing from part, save drawing, check in drawing to PDM workgroup, Close drawing, CRASH.

    • damnsolid 11:33 pm on May 12, 2009 Permalink

      keep your virtual memory high and try having 3gb switch

    First log in and just wanted to say how good this is. 

    It’s awesome to see so much support going on for solid works.

    Will be back again soon.

    Does anyone one know where I can get some more info on Routing in Solid Works?

      Generally if you go to YouTube and search you will find some good info like this

      I have some good tutorials, however the file size exceeds the limits for this forum. If you can send me a dump site I will FTP them to you.
