Solidworks bug escalation

Hello

This simple question, how can we do, without there being a crash of solidworks, report the bugs that we observe? I'm in 2019 SP2 and I notice little things as I use it that are not related to the card or graphics drivers ... Is there an address or a link? I'm asking this just so that I get to SP5, I'm not there blowing too many cables .... Laughing out loud

Have a good day everyone.

Cdt.

Hello @Fabcamp

Could you share with us your list of these little things

Hello

So especially the most recurrent, in drawing:

 - on several sheets, views that disappear, when you hover the mouse over them, it highlights the lines, you can see that there is a view, but it remains invisible and is not visible either when the PDF is created... The worst thing is that even if it's a simple copy of a sheet, identical, by switching from one to the other, one is nikel the other is distorted ...

In this case I have to close SW sometimes, a ccleaner and Rx ... to fix the problem.

- Annotation bubbles that disappear when the pdf is created, on the pdf but not in the sw drawing.

- One that in any case I think, is certainly not related to graphics drivers and very annoying, when you create a nomenclature, you link it to a view first, then, so that other views refer to this first nomenclature created, you go to the properties of the view, And you link it to "nomenclature 1" for example, since 2019, this list is empty, I have to create my bubbles with text on these other views, because I can't retrieve this nomenclature.

In 3D:

- Unable to select faces or edges even with filters (this is random).

- When I use "select other" to look for a back face etc, a window opens like on SW with all the possible faces in the line of sight of the mouse, but even if I hover my mouse over a selection, I don't know which face it corresponds to because it doesn't highlight in the 3D.

There are also temporary files that close badly, and when I want to delete a recently opened one, I am forced to close SW...

 

And yesterday I had 2 times I had the screen attached before ... but here I think it's graphic... but why have it only Mnt? ...

I think it's pretty much all from memory...

Cdt.

For the last one, you have to change the driver, in general SW offers at least 2 possible versions of driver the same combination of card/version of SW.

Yes, everything you say shows a problem 

video card 

So as Steffeno says

Test another driver recognized by SW

That's the problem... It must have been about 4 months that we have been under 2019, under SW 2017, at the beginning, my Quadro 1000 M graphics card (yes I am not the best equipped ;) ) was recognized by SW in 2017 then towards the end, since the SP5 maybe, they no longer certified it, when we go to their site ... So I'm not talking about the 2019 .... Otherwise you also think that it is a graphic problem also concerning the linking of bills of materials and the closing of temporary  files? I have a doubt about the QD itself... ;)

It's even worse than that ;) ... I just went back to see, sometimes I missed something, if I enter my config, my HP Z1 workstation computer of the first generation, the SW site not only does not offer me my graphics card, but in addition it only leaves me the choice to select SW17 ... and not 2019 .. oO Thank you Dassaut ^^

Try this driver  not tested for my part 

not easy to find a driver for quadro M 1000

Test to see compatible W 10 

@+ ;-)

Yes I also just did a check ditto sw and Nvidia I found you on my previous answer a link that indicates a m 1000 drivers for w 10 

See if it's suitable

but it's also time to change your mobile phone to see who it may be because then it's becoming difficult to work

I'm still under W7 for the moment ... :/ On the other hand I saw on the site, they certify for M 2000 and M 3000 ... maybe the M 1000 would be compatible?

 

On Nvidia's website, there is a recent driver (https://www.nvidia.fr/Download/driverResults.aspx/146016/fr), it may be worth trying. What's funny is that it's the same driver for W7 and W10.
It is not certified but the certification mainly plays on the fact that you can't call SW support for a graphical bug problem with this kind of driver.

The problem of SW not following up on older products goes hand in hand with the fact that SW only supports 3 versions of its own software.

I'm going to try this one indeed, from 11/04 ... On the other hand, regarding the nomenclatures related to views, you don't have this problem on your side in 2019 SP2? ...

 

 LAUGHING OUT LOUD? ... In fact I must have a Chinese copy of Windows 7 Pro ^^

Am I the only one to have this problem with bills of materials related to drawing views?

And to come back to the drivers you suggest @stefbeno, the "425.31-quadro-desktop-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql", does not pass as shown in the picture attached above ... I came across a driver that passes and it's the most recent one I managed to install on: "377.55-quadro-grid-desktop-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql" ... I told myself that it's the "GRID" that makes the difference... but what is the Grid? ... I then found another ditto that seemed more recent to me... "411.63-quadro-grid-desktop-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql" with grid too... But same installation error... IT'S BEYOND ME... Laughing out loud

Hello

Planned obsolescence or technological deficit comes down to the same thing.

It's not funny for you.

You see what it's going to be like with the autonomous car. You'll be stopped suddenly at 4 a.m. in the open countryside on a snowstorm day and without network coverage with a message on the screen

You need to load the driver patch to be able to start again.

Abort, Ignore, retry. You don't have administrator rights to load the patch.  And then you'll stand at attention in front of General Motors who hasn't retired unlike the other general you need to remember.

But there has been progress in 20 years because a spoiled old general has finally retired.

You remember General Failure and his adorable message of support "Press any key to cancel".

Courage, the future is for connected objects :-)

Kind regards

PS: For GRID it is related to virtual slots that  offer better performance thanks to the acceleration capabilities of virtual GPUs. Clearly it can also use your CPU or another GPU if it is underused.

Thank you for your answers, I also just noticed that there are the Quadro M1000M and the 1000M, different therefore, and the last driver for my card (Quadro 1000 M) is the 377.55 compatible fortunately with w10 again ... but not certified on Sw2019 ... Cdt.
