ctrl tab really sloooow

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.

TIA, Wormsign

Should have mentioned that I'm running SP2.1 but have been for several days with no issues.

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.

Wayne, Pretty simple stuff and doesn't seem to matter what docs I have open. I will try to reapply the settings.

BTW - really enjoyed your Sheet Metal presentation at SWW.

thanks, Jeff (Wormsign)

Enjoyed in spite of my squeaky non-voice? :-) Which is much better now, by the way.

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've had trouble with this since day one, but not speed, it's having it select the wrong item.

Did you say 2.1? I just rebuilt my image to 2.0. There goes another hour wasted.

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.

Only if you're Czechoclovakian. The issues fixed had to do with the Czeck localized version.

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.

Make sure when you view the fixed SPR's you choose to view 'All SPR's' not just the 'General SPR's'
