The ABS I have gotten from McMaster in sheet form was not pretty. I agree it is more durable, I have the back and sides of the enclosure made in ABS but it does not look nice. The sheet material...

I manufacture custom automation for homes and offices and have an LCD touch screen that I make an acrylic bezel for. I currently buy 1/8 P95 acrylic in white or black and CNC the bezel from the rear...

Yes I see that sketch enter is an alternative, I never used it that way to move parts incrementally but I can get used to it. My opinion is this is a bug and dragging items from any point to...

No need for a sample file. I can create a blank file, add several lines, modify one line to somewhere below z0 and drag all, then they all drift away from z0 in some averaging scheme.

After Burrman asked for a sample I went to a larger file and grabbed a part that was plaguing me and made a small sample file. To demonstrate how to create the bug I think I solved the mystery.

I posted this on the bobcam site forum. 2 days later it is not there. I should expect their site to work has half ass a the program.

Guess what, to discuss a bug with their tech support, you...

I cannot seem to change the status to solved. I can't edit the first post.

You cannot put * in a layer name and save dwg or dxf

I have been working on a file and all along I have been able to export dwg to send out. Today all of a sudden I get error

Failed in: Save

I tried restarting the app. I tried saving under...

I think it is best to select the Nvidia card as needed. It runs hot and the fan is always running, which can be annoying if you are not using an app that needs it. After a few days of use on the...

OK I was not aware that you could use either GPU. I had looked for a settings for the Nvidea and only found the GE experience program, which does nothing to help. So tonight I somehow stumbled...

no idea how you would check that

I searched on ways to speed up WIn10. Found this video and did everything in it. The only thing I did not do was remove any start up items as the system is brand new and there is not much I can...

I just found this reply about the GTX on a solidworks forum

Please note that the GeForce family of cards are NVIDIA's "consumer grade" cards, and are primarily intended for games, multi-media,...

Thanks Burrman that is good stuff. I will start monitoring the cpu more to understand whats going on.

Yes that definitely helps out separating things and turning off layers. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is a file that bogs down.

11950 entities. The file started out as a dwg sent to me, then I added the mechanical parts.

Edit I tested with Prefs/settings...

I made a video of an example of what I experience. This is with V26 on the new Asus i7 described above. This is what I experience on other laptops with no graphics cards. Also I have a desktop...

I just did a test to move a small part up a few inches using sketch/enter in translate dragging from a selected point on a line. On V26 it took 1:04 minutes. On V29 3:04 minutes. It takes most of...

I have used Bobcad for 10 years. In the early days it was fast and I loved the speed of how I could create parts, After V21 I went to V26 and then things went down hill as far as speed. On small...
