Periodic bog SW2006

Greetings good citizen !

Have you considered a box full of Quadro may solve all your laundry problems?

It's the video card.

Do you have multiple SW files open when it does this ?? Not necessarily maximized or tiled. Just having them open and minimized will cause this with most gaming cards.

Get a real CAD card

...perhaps I was too obscure giving my help? - just trying to keep things fresh and lively...

Depends what region of Spain your from... local dialects and such. But bog bug is best term to use as it is more universal and not prone to misiterpretation between ministries... :)

Unfortunately, it occours wether I have one file or many files open ...

A fellow who uses a box with a FireGL is complaining of the same problem, though less prevalent.

Well, the truth is ATI products (in general) are much more problamatic than those from Nvidia.

They make good quality hardware, but write lousy drivers. This has been the case as far back as I can remember. There used to be some Radeon drivers listed on the SW site "with limitations". It appears they aren't there anymore.

Get yourself an Nvidia Quadro card and all your problems go away

Yes, I've had the same problems and many more with 2006. One scenerio is seems to hang on is when I'm in a sketch. Very random, but I'm about to ctrl-alt-del and kill SW2006 and all of sudden it comes back to life.

I had a similar problem, when I upgraded to to a larger screen. I found an updated driver on the website of the company who bought the company who bought the company of the manufacturer of my grafix card (Whohoo for aftersales support!..not.) Updating the driver fixed this problem and gave me wet dreams for a week about how fast my machine now runs. Check the system resources on the task manager when performing some basic operations. If it is high, then it is most definitely the driver. I was experiencing 98% CPU utilisation when zooming, dragging dimensions, etc.

Good Luck.
