Slow rotation/movement in Solidworks in sketchmode

Jacco · Post by **Jacco** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:30 am

Hello

I use a space traveller in SW2007 and all is working fine except......

When making a sketch and the entities are selected rotation is slow/jerky. When unselected all is moving/rotating smoothly. Same applies to dimensioning the entities. As soon as you select one item rotation is slow.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

I'm using SW2007 SP5.0 and driver 3.5.6 on 32bit dualcore 2.2 Ghz and 4 Gb ram

Thanks

Hello again,

Found the problem.
It's the nvidia graphics card. Changed it with an Ati an problem is gone.
Must be the driver that is causing the problem.

Hi Jacco,

Try playing with the "performance" options of SolidWorks. It may be that line drawing with your particular card is slow and is being done in software but shaded 3D rendering is still fast (hardware accelerated).

Hi ngomes

I tried that and also different image quality settings. No luck.
I also tried different driver settings with no result.
We have another system with also an Nvidia card. Same problem.
I never noticed this before as I always had an Ati card.

Thanks for the reply though.
