Re: Solidworks 2006 CTD on Linear Feature Pattern

Do you mean *any* linear pattern? On *any* part you create? Or is this
specific to a particular part file?

I'm running 2006 sp2.0 on two different machines (one old Dell M50
laptop and one new Boxx tower) with no crash problems with patterns.

By the way, neither of those video cards is a slam dunk. I've seen
several problems with the FireGLs and GeForce also has limitations. The
only cards that can be just about guaranteed to work are the Quadros
above a certain level (excluding the NVS). If using software OpenGL
fixes it, it is a video card/driver problem. The solution is either a
new driver or a new card, or some connection problem with your mobo.

Are you sure your antivirus was off during installation? That might be
worth trying. I would uninstall the video driver and then reinstall it
(with av off). Of course reboot the computer.

Good luck,

Matt
