My favorite way to optimize SolidWorks? Smart modeling practice - minimize external ref, reduce relations, complex features last #DellCAD |

Running SW2010 on Windows 7 64bit with 8G Ram, working pretty well #DellCAD |
|
“ |
If upgrading to SolidWorks 2011, go Windows 7 64bit, 6GB RAM minimum (It's cheap!), 1GB graphics card is nice too. @Cadalyst_Mag #DellCAD |

@bcbenton file collaboration: two ways - 1) work off network with established file name convention #DellCAD |

I like answer #2 to @bcbenton question on SWX file collaboration - use PDM if you can afford it. You get collab AND other benefits #DellCAD |
|
“ |
Did you know Dell Precision workstations are specifically designed for professionals like those of you who use #SolidWorks? #DellCAD |
|
“ |
@Cadalyst_Mag @waldenweb running one rig with 2 Processors and 24GB of RAM.... wooooow, worth it. #DellCAD |
|
“ |
lightweight components and large assembly mode will help with the optimization. #Dellcad |
|
“ |
@jonathanpscott what are your thoughts on how PDM helps optimize SolidWorks and Workstation? #DellCAD |
|

I just drooled a little: @SolidSmack @waldenweb running one rig with 2 Processors and 24GB of RAM.... wooooow, worth it. #DellCAD |

“ |
true, and SpeedPacks! @lazytrax: lazytrax: lightweight components and large assembly mode will help with SolidWorks optimization. #Dellcad |
|
“ |
#DellCAD @SolidSmack One big way is thru view/search ability - non-PDM SWX users sometimes load everything into session just to find 1 part |
|
“ |
@SolidSmack @bcbenton 1/file share or 2/PDM is pretty much all what available today mainstream for collaboration. #dellcad |
|
“ |
#DellCAD: We've got another reader who is new to #SolidWorks RealView. Any tips on hardware or software optimization? |
|
“ |
#DellCAD @SolidSmack Another PDM plus is managing the 3D->2D link. SWX is OK on the 2D->3D direction. But can cost time to find drws from 3D |

“ |
@Cadalyst_Mag One way to ensure a good RealView experience is to have a professional level graphics card. #DellCAD http://bit.ly/brRb6X |
|
“ |
#DellCAD @bcbenton One more collab tip for SWX is using "multi-user env" options - bad news is it doesn't always play nice with PDM systems. |

#Dellcad RealView feels distracting/unnecessary, not real. Zebra stripes w/surfaces and preview w/PW pretty much removes the need also |
|

#Dellcad that should be: preview with PhotoView, PV, not PW |
