While editing routes in a large assy, each and every entity is rebuilding and it takes more time. Sometimes SW crashes out. The machine config is 64bit, 8gb dell / HP workstation. Is there a way to suspend rebuild for faster execution? While rebuilding ”ESC” is not working. What to do on this?
My machine is a HP xw4600 Workstation. Initially we ran it on 64bit XP. However I had similar problems to yours. I converted to Vista 32bit and somehow it allows more RAM for SolidWorks to operate.
So I suggest the following:
1.) Try installing Windows XP 32bit or Vista 32bit.
2.) Alternatively set your components to light weight.
Tools > Options > Performance and uncheck :
* Verification on rebuild
* Always resolve sub-assemblies
