Could you please let me know which of the following platforms gives the best Solidworks performance?

Apple MacPro (Xeon 2.8GHz 4-core) running Vista 64-bit via Bootcamp

Apple MacPro (Xeon 2.8GHz 8-core) running Vista 64-bit via Bootcamp

Apple MacPro (Xeon 3.0GHz 8-core) running Vista 64-bit via Bootcamp

PC (E8500 3.16GHz CoreDuo) running Vista 4-bit

Is more cores and RAM the faster the program runs?
Is 4GB RAM enough?

For video card, which one would you recommend?

ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB
ATI Radeon HD

Thanks. ]]> https://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=14712 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:18:20 EST Mario Linares 3 I have changed the units to inches and save my part and drawing. However, when I open a new part the software keeps the "millimeteres" instead.
How can I setup SW to keep the units in "inches" for the new parts and drawings all the time?.

Thanks.

The nature of the David laser scanner set-up makes it impractical for larger items. In my case, I am wanting to scan some machinery about the size of a small car.

I've seen plenty of other similar programs done by college students that don't use the targets, but rather depends on a known geometric relationship with the laser and camera. But, again they normally are used on a small scale. In my case, I don't have control of the environment, so lighting won't be ideal. So, I am uncertain the low-cost approach will work in this situation.

Anyone here ever try this type of work at the larger scales, perhaps in a factory environment?

I'm trying to work out the best method to design inflatable fabric tubes in SolidWorks, so that the individual panels can be flattened for manufacture. I've tried to do this using the sheet metal function, but was wondering if there was a more suitable add-in (possibly for the clothes/footwear industry)? So far we've been using the Rhino 3D package, but would prefer to model it within SolidWorks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Will

I'm a support guy at a university in Australia and I've been handed the task of packaging the application for usage in our computer labs for the students here.
I've noticed that Solidworks 2008 - 2009 requires the "Office 2003 Add-in: Office Web Components" and that installs 2 other folders within the Microsoft Office folder in programs file.

I wanted to ask why does Solidworks require this add in and is their a way for me to get Solidworks working without the install of the add in.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your replies.

Cheers,
