Re: How often has Solidworks 2012 been crashing on you?
Since installing SW12 (on a brand new machine at work) several weeks ago, I've had a couple of lock-ups of SW, and one crash caused by Windows.
On my home machine, none at all.

Re: How often has Solidworks 2012 been crashing on you?
I have been using SW12 for over 2 months on my Windows7 x64 workstation in the office and for twice that long on my notebook computer that is almost 5 years old and uses XP x32. I rarely crash on either one. Easily less than once per week. Even though SW12 is pushing my older XP box to the limit-it only has 2 GB of ram-I think I crash less there than on the workstation.

Re: How often has Solidworks 2012 been crashing on you?
Rare enough that I couldn't give you a number. Use it every week with varying usage, but it rarely locks up or simply crashes. Been using it since PR1/SP0 came out last fall. Even when I used it heavily, I didn't crash enough to think twice about it. I'll accept a crash of any user driven software once a week or so.
Win7 x64
12gb RAM
2012 SP2

Re: How often has Solidworks 2012 been crashing on you?
I am using SW 2012 intensively on a laptop and a desktop. It almost never crashes. The only time I got a consistent crash was when trying to defeature an imported part with lots of errors and a huge number of surface bodies.
It is important to point out that both my systems meet the SW 2012 requirements.

Re: How often has Solidworks 2012 been crashing on you?
Kelvin, John, Steve and Alin,
Thanks for your feedback!
My system does meet the SW 2012 requirements and my drivers are up to date.
Perhaps the root of the problem lies within my own software - a Solidworks addin.
My addin "listens" for what files are open/closed to interact with specific assemblies, so there might be some problem there.
From now on, I will be saving the SW-error dumps to then send to sw-support and see if they can narrow it down for me.
I will report back with my findings in case someone else finds themselves in the same situation.
Cheers!
Filipe

If you think it's your add-in - turn it off and run for a while. You'll probably know pretty quick depending the level of interaction you had with it. Quickest way to troubleshoot the problem is to start removing variables and see what you have left.

I have also recently upgraded to windows 7 64 bit, only had one crash while working in a 6000 part assembly. Had the new setup for nearly 2 months now.
