I use a freeware program called grabzilla to do this. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/grabzilla.html

Jim, I have the exact same problem. I tracked it down to the Bluebeam add-in. If I tried creating an extrusion while the add-in was selected, SW2006 would crash every time. As soon as I de-select it, everything is fine again. Roller1.

Here is a 30ft Palm Tree (found on 3D Content Central). http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/3dcontentcentral/userlibrary/model.asp?model=palm tree&category=Miscellaneous&subcategory=3D Clip Art

What I normally do is select all the mates for the bolt/washer etc., and then select Edit -> Unsuppress -> All Configurations.

I have done this before by saving each drawing as a PDF file and then using a freeware program call pdfmerge to join them into 1 pdf file.

If you are using SW 2005, I think the option you want to change is Tools > options > System Options > Performance > Level of Detail.

Yes you are right Chris, this has been discussed before. I apologise for hijacking your thread rockguy.

Hi rockguy, Thanks for that link, looks very interesting. Sorry, I should have posted a link to the information I was referring to. According to the system requirements page, there will be no support for native 64 bit versions of 2006 and beyond. It will however be supported as a 32 bit...

rockguy, You say that there will be a native 64 bit version of solidworks later this year. Where did you hear this? The SW website says that there will be no native 64 bit support for the forseeable future.

This problem has finally been fixed with 2005 SP3.1, but it's interesting to note that it's not listed in the SPR's.

I use a small freeware program called TClockEx that shows me real-time RAM usage in the taskbar while I load large assemblies etc. It has other advantages too, like letting you see the date in your taskbar, and allows you to copy the current date/time to add to drawings etc.

I may be speaking out of turn here sorry, because I am in Australia. Our Reseller here is offering a free upgrade from SW Office to SW Office Professional before April 15. (because they are discontinuing the SolidWorks Office product).

I would contact your dealer immediately. You may be able to get a free upgrade to Office Professional (includes PDMWorks) for a limited time.

I too am doing what ctopher is doing macduff. All my method does is save the extra steps of inserting a new revision every time you create a new drawing (and also changing the date with a note). I know it may sound trivial, but every extra step saved when creating about 20-30 drawings a day...

Todd, I am sorry this is a bit belated, but this problem has been bugging me for ages, and I have only just found a way around it (it's quite simple too). - I deleted the rev table from the drawing sheet. - I then inserted a rev table into to the drg template. - I added a new revision using...
