SW is unable to obtain required memory

Anyone ever managed to free enough memory to hit the retry button and make
it work again? Me never.....
but today I found out that if I ignore the message and hit the save button
instead I can make it....ie. save the last changes before take off to
desktop. I closed as many unnecceary apps as possible and then saved it
....even twice to be sure, and it worked.

So, maybe SolidWorks Corp has included a hidden parachute in their
flaming aeroplane . . .

 

LOL. More like exploding aeroplane and flaming parachute.

I noticed this as well, but always wondered if my flaming parachute would
burn a bit of my files on the way down. In other words, if the program was
going to crap I didn't want to chance a few thousand files getting
corrupted. I'd be careful!

Didn't you read about this in the User Manual on page 563? I bet a useless
rabid uninformed modeler wouldn't have this issue! Jon? Jon!? Are you and
Cliffy out there?

On a similar note, a former coworker of mine found that AutoCAD 2002 can run
the task manager over 2GB (with 2GB of RAM installed). This was on the same
machine that SolidWorks took a dump at ~1.6GB. AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE 3GB SWITCH OR THE OS. If one app can go over the physical RAM limit
than another app should be able to as well, right? So where does the finger
get pointed? Well after much run-around by SolidWorks the blame comes back
on them again. Great delaying tactic I might add. It's been obvious that
they do not understand memory allocation nor care to fix it anytime soon
since they admittedly have an issue with it. Sorry for the rant for the
sensitive people. Sorry for calling you sensitive too.
