This just started this morning. When I do the ctrl-tab to switch between open documents the mouse cursor freezes and there is nothing happening for several seconds. Anybody have a clue...nothing has changed on the machine (as far as I know) and the task manager doesn't show any real resource hogs.
Is one of your open docs a big drawing? Does it happen no matter what docs you have open? Even if you have 2 open? If nothing else, maybe try reapplying your std settings (that you have saved out) to see if something there has changed.
I know it must have hurt to speak but you sounded fine and I'm hard of hearing. I've been thinking about your presentation today as I'm working on some files that our customer sent in that were 'drawn' in SolidWorks...and the sheet metal feature is the last thing in the tree, sketches are undefined and hole wizzard holes have a 3d sketch as the location sketch. I really wish people would learn to use the software.. I'm better now thanks for listening.
Ah, the old "I don't know where I am going with this part and have always done it this way." syndrome. Remember two of my important points: Learn good practices and stick with them, and Don't be afraid to change your sheet metal modeling method as the part evolves.
I'm not running SW08 yet, so I don't have a clue what is happening, but someone on the SW forum said that the slowdown seemed to be a graphics issue and that having another window on top of the SW window (say the task manager) caused the slowdown to go away. The person who found this was using some program with a small window to keep SW in line.
You seem to use a number of assembly open in solodworks, try loading the assemblies in lightmode. Other reason may be of big drawing/open sketches/too many features in the drawing/part. If things are yet not working see to your system admin for memory problems.
Okay this is really weird... right now I have 17 files open, a main assembly, 3 subassemblies, 4 part files and 9 drawings and the CTRL-TAB is instantaneous.
And I have changed nothing.
