Logging onto the computer as a different user, and starting SW will provide a new SolidWorks user profile. A user’s profile may become corrupt or have poor settings etc. The three stars in the heading shows that this is an excellent step to try. SolidWorks Knowledge Base Step 6 – Log on as a Different User *** You will also need to know what version of SW you are using, and what Service Pack version you have installed -> Open SolidWorks -> Help (drop-down) -> About SolidWorks. It is vital at this stage that you consult the KB to see if there have been similar issues. It is essential for you to search the SolidWorks Knowledge Base for keywords describing what you are doing to cause the crash. Step 5 – Research the SolidWorks Knowledge Base **** If its a PDM issue, then your going to have to do connectivity tests (separate debugging required). If you have a SNL network license, it should be ok, as SW has a network timeout period. See the step below for “Process Explorer”. But if SolidWorks starts responding immediately after been disconnected from the Network, things are looking up. Its better to disable the Local Area Connection Adapter. Thus if SolidWorks hangs for a while, a quick test is to plug out the network cable. Step 4 – Plug out the Network Cable *Ī lot of people store everything on the Network, and as such work directly off the network.

Open SolidWorks -> Make sure there are NO open Parts/Assemblies or Drawings -> Tools -> Options -> Performance -> Use Software OpenGL.

Even better, however takes a little longer, is to check and upgrade your graphics card drivers. If you get “blue screens”, computer shutdowns / reboots, then you need to try enabling Software OpenGL. Step 3 – Use Software OpenGLīeing a 3D CAD package, SolidWorks makes extremely heavy use of the graphics card. More specifically, the Add-Ins which are marked as for start-up are located in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\Startup\Applications\ I always find that it is much safer to rename folders rather than deleting them. Rename SolidWorks to SolidWorksOld and start SolidWorks. START -> run -> regedit -> Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks.

If you can’t open SolidWorks to disable Add-Ins Open SolidWorks -> Tools -> Add-Ins and untick everything. If a person can say “When I do XYZ, ABC happens” then is makes things a lot easier. Try replicating the issue on different files. While you replicate the crash, write down the scenario, what files you have open, what method are you doing. There is nothing more difficult to analyse than “my computer is slow today” or “solidworks is crashing all the time”. It is extremely important to narrow down the cause and timing of the crash as much as possible.

Use of SolidWorks Add-Ins or 3rd party software.

What is very important is “when” did SW start behaving like this. There are a number of reasons SolidWorks might start crashing or hanging. This article, part 1 focuses on SolidWorks crashes / hangs when running or opening the program (as opposed to install problems which will be covered in a later article). I will attempt to place these methods in order of how I would proceed when diagnoising an issue. Of course you need to be able to replicate the crash / hang in order to track down the problem. crashing or hanging on a consistent basis. This article outlines the methods I use to debug SolidWorks whenever it starts behaving badly, i.e.
