Unpleasant stop events happen with all software tools.
Draftsight 2016 not responding code#
That means there are 8 million places in the code where it has to decide whether to take a ‘left’ or ‘right’ turn!Īnd the developers are adding nearly 1 million NEW lines with every major release. Today, it has upwards of 12 million lines of code containing over 8 million ‘If/Then’ statements. The reality is that SolidWorks is easily the most sophisticated software tool most of us have ever used. Just look at the ‘Memory’ (column) an application is using and see if the value is still changing. If an operation takes longer than you are expecting and you get this message, you can always open up Task Manager and see if the application still has a ‘pulse’. However, I then had to scramble to take a screen capture because the message closed on its own just a second or so later.

In fact, to generate the screen shot of the message, all I did was open a part with a large pattern, click CTRL-Q (forced full rebuild) and then waited 3 seconds before clicking in the SolidWorks Window. When you are talking about ANY compute intense application, there are bound to be dozens, if not hundreds of operations that are going to take more than 3 seconds to complete calculations and report back to Windows.
Draftsight 2016 not responding windows#
In Windows 7, it takes a mere 3 seconds before the operating system throws this message… THREE! In Windows Vista, the time for this box to appear was reduced to 10 seconds. In Windows XP, it took 30 seconds of a software application not communicating with the operating system before this message box appeared. This dialog is actually a Windows message indicating that the application listed has stopped responding to “Windows”, but it has not necessarily locked up! Though this box will appear preceding an actual crash, this box does not necessarily indicate that a crash is imminent. The most common misconception here is that SolidWorks has, or is about to crash. You could frankly replace “SolidWorks” with the name of ANY other application loaded on your Windows computer, even Windows Explorer!! Well, NOT REALLY, at least not most of the time.įirst of all, this is a Windows message box, NOT a SolidWorks message box. The CCS command lets you also rotate the snap grid.Take, for instance, a dialog box most every seasoned SolidWorks user has seen at least once… Specify the radial snap spacing.Ĭreate a coordinate system using the CCS command to determine a different base point of the snap grid from the origin of the World Coordinate System (WCS). The radial snap grid aligns along polar angle increments. Specify the Orientation option to set the type of snap and specify:.Sets up an orthogonal snap grid aligned parallel to the X- and Y-axes of the current coordinate system.

Use the IsometricGrid command to determine the active isometric plane to draw on (left, top, or right). Unlike rectangular snap, isometric snap cannot have different Spacing values. Specify vertical spacing for an isometric snap grid when prompted. Sets up an isometric snap grid aligned along lines 30, 90, and 150 degrees from the horizontal axis.
