When I try to work with sheet metal parts and activate the sheet metal tab, the solidworks starts to "jerk" and work slowly. Screen updates like once in a second, even if i have empty part. Once I activate some other tab (Features, sketch, weldments..) solid works goes back to normal. Any idea what might be causing this...
Thank you John for your help but this is not the case here. I've already tried to adjust those settings but I think this is not a graphic issue.
The "jerking" happens with part files (even with empty part), when and only when the sheet metal tab is activated. And it's not only the spinning of the model, also if you hover the mouse cursor over the File-, Edit-, View-...menus there is the same delay of 0,5 to 1 second, before they activate.
I can open a bit more complex assembly which takes 2GB of memory, and spin it around without any kind of flinching or jerking at all.
We use Win 10, Solidworks premium 2018 SP5.0
I have about an year old HP ZBook 15 G5, i7-8850H, 32GB, SSD, Quadro P2000
This week my colleague received he's new laptop HP ZBook 15 G6, Xeon E-2286M, 32G, SSD, Quadro T2000
and he has the same symptoms. My laptop(and solid) had been working until last month, before it was re-initialized, all the software reinstalled(including OS). We have other older laptops that work with the same software package, but they have not been completely wiped clear, after updating from win7 and solid 2014.
Could this be related with some reference files missing or something.. Tried already to load the SW settings from a working laptop but it doesn't help.
"Jerking" when spinning the part is directly related to the Graphics Card, you can adjust the image quality (graphics) by going to Tools/Options/Document Properties/Image Quality
