SW2006 Upgrade - Official Release

I just received my official SW2006 Upgrade in the mail yesterday. Has
anybody else got theirs yet? And have you installed it?

Yep!
Yep!

SFSG,
Muggs

 

got it, but it's gonna stay in the box for a good long time--we're still on
'04

 

We have received 2 so far, but haven't installed yet - we'll ease into it.

I got one for work and for my company.

 

I install SW2006 yesterday so far it is working fine except for
Bluebeam PDF does not work on my Windows XP-64 computers. The
conversion program work very good only a few models did not convert.

 

I am the test monkey here, and I have around 8 -10 crashes a day working
with an assembly done in 05, if I re mate any hardware (bolts nuts...)
but seems if I get rid of all the hardware all is good. Big
inconvenience I would send in a fix it request but I cannot pin it down
yet to one problem. Maybe its just my crap machine, had similar issues
with 2005 but just not as often

I work todwn most of the time and 06 seems t work great. Some of the
new workflows are really robust.
A coworker of mine, and former keynote speaker at SWXwrld, removed his
06 in disgust. He also had the same issues of mates not working and
large assemblies wigging out. He experienced 6-8 crashes in an
afternoon, and went back to 05
Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment and have learnt how to be kind to
Solidwrks so it doesnt crash.

 

SW 2004 sp0 had a simular problem with loosing mates when you used start
parts. I had a huge project junk out on me. I kept loosing all my mates
and couldn't figure out why.

I'm currently crashing 2006, 6-10 times a day. I have my peformance e-mail
turned on, but think I might shut if off, because I'm sick of the time it's
taking sending out all them perforance emails everytime I restart it. I
like the features in 2006 but I'm running into a lot of bugs.

 

John,

I'm glad I was the only one in our shop to try sw2006. I didn't convert any
of our library files so we are continuing to use sw2005 except for these 2
jobs.

I recall this issue happening on another sp0 release like abc mentioned.
I'll take his word for it that it was sw2004.
