Anybody feel like answering a solidworks question?

We are running ver 7 sp1.1 .

Here's the problem, in options, under the document properties, under "image
quality" there's a slider bar called wireframe and high quality HLR/HLV
resolution.
The problem is I set it to Hiigh(slower) and all is fine. The image is
smoothe, etc...However...
if I bring in another drawing, or restart solidworks its defaulted back to
almost all the way to the low side.
I guess my question is how can I make it default to High.
Even if I save a drawing with it set to high it still goes back to low
when i reload the drawing. I even tried changing it to high and saving the
sheet format. Again, when I call up that format its set to low???
No errors whatsoever.
We are running win xp sp2, full admin rights on the login.
The solidworks is installed locally, but the sheet formats and saved files
reside on a network. Full admin rights to the network.

Anybody know why I can't make "High" the default?

 

Have you tried saving the drawing as a new drawing template then
opening a new drawing with that new template? If that does not work I
would upgrade your SP.

 

I've been having the same problems, so I'm also looking for a
solution. The problem is in parts/assemblies, not so much with
drawings. I keep meaning to resave my templates, to see if that
helps, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

First, upgrade to at least 2.2. There are issues with 2.1 and before
with file size.

Second, you need to make the change in your templates. Any new
documents created from those templates will carry the settings and
properties you set.

Your problem may be due to a bug in SW. I came across it in SW2006,
and it looks like it is still active in SW2007. The bug is that if
you open an assembly and go to "Document Properties" then "Image
Quality" and select the "Apply to all referenced part documents" check
box, it will not only save this setting with the current assembly
file, but whenever you open any other assembly files it will have that
option selected also. When you select it in one assembly, it applies
it globally to all assemblies like a "Sytem Option" would eve though
it is under "Document Properties". Thus, if you later open an
assembly which has a low image qualigy setting, then it will
automatically make all of your parts that it references as low quality
also. The simple solution to this is to open an assembly and un-check
this option so that it an all other assemblies will just reference the
part file settings. FYI, you can use this option to get all of your
parts to the same quality level, save the parts, and then remember to
uncheck this option. Hope this helps!

Yep, we tried that..thanks.

 

thanks.

 

Thanks for the tip, Jason. I think changing that assembly setting
fixed my problem.
