This is a new problem that started today:
Solidworks 2015 x64 crashes when saving a part file (to both the local drive and servers) and/or crashes immeadiatley after adding a feature and attempting to manipulate the part in space. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Just one machine. I ran the benchmark tests, system diagnostic, and performed the system maintenance cleanup. It seems to have corrected the issue of crashing when manipulating the part immediately after adding a feature. The crashing when saving has gotten a bit better as it only crashes about 20% of the time now vice every time as before.
EDIT: To my knowledge there have not been any Windows updates applied.
You have a gremlin somewhere. Can you run a repair on your install?
You said it just started today. Have you re-booted your computer since this started? I know mine will exhibit strange behavior if I've had it running too long.
Rebooted many times. Both restart, shut down, and hard shut down.
I also cleaned out the temp. internet files in explorer and that seemed to help. Not sure if it has anything to do with solidworks but it has helped. Hopefully the nightly defrag will clear this up.
Try disabling; 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'System Options' > 'FeatureManager'> 'Scroll selected item into view'. if the crashes stop, ask your VAR to be added to SPR 867551 Hang clicking in the graphics area after zooming or rotating a model with the middle mouse button immediately after editing a feature
"Hang clicking in the graphics area after zooming or rotating a model with the middle mouse button immediately after editing a feature"
Yep.. the above is one for sure... closes SW without any notification.
... the 'Scroll selected item into view' does not matter, for me.
Is it SP 4? There is a notice about installing SP 4 with a certain windows update. The customer portal gives directions on how to fix the issue. it's really simple.
Rob,
unfortunately, I had problems with all the SP's.. (btw, I'd suggest SP3 for anyone having issues)
but.. if you talking about KBKB3072630?.... that effects releases back to 2011.... and Add-ins?
KB3072630 Windows update causing add in issues
btw,.. I have not seen most of those issues people mentioned... my issues are instability, crashing, hanging, windows not popping up,..
but, yes, SP4 (which I will stay on because of all the data I have released using SP4) is my current version and I've followed all the instructions for that KB#.. and I have uninstalled/reinstalled... and repaired (which seems to work the best when issues come up)
.... although, and it depends, since there are been more KB's out since them,.. I have had few crashes (or, I'm being more careful with my mouse clicks?)
I have similar crashing issues plus a whole lot more, and they are random. I am linking to a different more recent forum topic post where I explain my experiences more in depth: Solidworks 2015 crashes a LOT; Why is this still an issue?
Is this just your machine or all machines? Have there been any recent Windows updates?
