Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
I have a lack of stickers, lol. I just now opened the case too. I wonder if there is anything I can do to get a number?

If you're absolutely sure you don't have a sticker (it's pretty hard to miss, so I'm pretty sure you don't have one :p), PM "mplanchard". I'm sure she can help you out, she's awesome!

I've tested this on Vista Home Premium, and it allows SolidWorks to run correctly if there was problems with Vista.
Thanks I had to run it as adminsistrator now it works thanks so much

good advice

I just got mine 2 days ago, I was unable to control myself! I had to see what the similarities are between Solidworks and Inventor....I likes it! Im so glad I had signed up for this.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
i dont know if this has already been asked, and if it has then im sorry, but is it possible to import solidworks projects into 3ds?

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
Yes.

From a part or assembly, Click File, Save As.

Select .STL from the drop down list of Save as Type .STL.

You can apply materials, decals and scenes in SolidWorks with PhotoWorks. Select Tools, Add Ins and then Check PhotoWorks. You can do motion animations with Animator. Select Tools, Add Ins and then Check Animator.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
So... I got my copy of Solidworks and am really psyched to learn how to use it this summer. I am looking into getting a laptop, and really want it to be able to run Solidworks so are there any computers that would be really good at running it?

What type of ram, processor, etc. should I have beyond the min requirements to get the best results?

Would it work on a boot camped mac?

Thanks for any replies.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
Well I have a desktop but my specs aren't great.
With a:
3.6ghz processor
1gb ram
256mb video card

I can make most models pretty well. I've been using it to build VEX robots and it's fine until I get about half of a VEX robot built and then it starts to slow down. Going into large assembly mode helps but also makes it more difficult. I don't think you would have a fun time with anything less than what I have. Hope that helps.

take a look at the supported video cards on the solidworks website. also the more ram and the better the graphics card the better. processor is important but not as much.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
thanks, im an animation guy so being able to use 3ds and solidworks is pretty cool. and to the last question i have 1.86 ghz ram, 2 gig's a ram and a 512 graphics and it runs amazingly. the abilitly to duel screen with a laptop is also pretty cool. one thing to keep in mind when getting a comp is fps. ive had freinds get a 3 ghz proccesor and my laptops still better cuz i got the highest fps. hope this helps

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School
 
Seeing how I applied only a week ago is there any chance I'm going to recieve one :o Or am I too late? I didn't see a deadline anywhere.
