Every time I try to insert a Geometric Tolerance to a drawing, SW crashes to the desktop. Has anyone seen this?

Hell, just about any time I’m working in drawings I’ll CTD. I thought it was just me…

It works fine on our other machine, virtually same setup just different video card and less ram.

It instantly crashes too, almost like SW knows I’m going to hit okay and has a split second to laugh before closing.

Does any one have problems with SW randomly crasihing when inserting parts or sub-assemblies into an assembly. The crashes will occur whether I pull from my C: drive or the network.

Rod,
No, I haven’t seen any random crash problems.

I’ve seen this in 2009 SP0 and 1 when there is a conflicting external file referenced. meaning, a part being pulled into an assembly is coming in read-only when it should not be.
I had a drawer assembly, with drawer slide coming in as read-only (it will say ‘read-only’ when you select to open a part and click the references button.)
I have to repoint the reference manually and then when I drop the assembly or part in the assembly it will not crash.

Yes
When I open a ass and select one of the part or ass to edit. If I tab back to the ass bommmm -

For me, it is totally random. I might insert 20 or 30 parts in a row just fine. Then have it crash, restart and be just fine. This occured mostly in 2006 and 2008. Since we skipped the 2007 version, I have no idea how it would have performed. I will have to be sure to check the read only status on the parts and assy’s that it crashes on the next time.

Is anyone else having stability problems with Solidoworks 2009 x64? Lots of random crashes here. We are working with tech support but I was wondering if it was wide spread.

Not so much SW09 x64, but Vista x64.
I am having one machine here reformatted tonight and the OS re-installed because of errors in the OS log possibly affecting MS Office and SW.
Hopefully that will sort things out.

I haven’t upgraded yet, but I haven’t heard of too many issues.

I’m using SW09 x64 on Vista, and aside from an occasional corrupt file that crashes frequently, I haven’t had any problem with random crashes. You’ve probably got a driver conflict. I’d start uninstalling stuff until the crash goes away.

I get crashes on not only sw09 but on a lot of programs including ms office. I read somewhere to make sure if you are running Office 2007 and SW09 to make sure Office is not being run in compatibility mode.
Any luck CBL???

CBL, I’m having the same issues on Vista x64 with MS Office 2007 and SW.
So please keep us (me) posted as to how the reinstall of Vista goes. -
Muggs
jaraak,
Office 2007 compatibility mode?
How do I check that? -

OS re-install is being done this evening. Office 2007 and SW09-SP1 will be installed tomorrow morning. Results of testing probably won’t be available till early next week.

My vista machine is at home so I can’t double check. I believe you right click on the icon of the program and one of the tabs has a dropdown menu with something like “Run in compatibility mode for:” and a list appears.

Running SolidWorks 2009 x64 SP1.0 on XPx64; solid as a rock here!

Matt
I should have specified:
SW 2009 x64 SP1.0
XP 64
Office 2007All of this was a clean install as of about two weeks ago.
We are working with our reseller, sending in error dumps etc.We are getting tons of random crashes. Most just dump out of SW and you have to restart the machine. One or two runtime environment errors.
We are doing VERY basic stuff. Crashing on parts with 10 or so features etc.
I wish we had Brian’s setup.

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…

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.
