If your card is not supported, please review the following articles. Uninstall the driver, reboot your PC and then test SOLIDWORKS again.

If you have "DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows" drivers, you may still experience issues despite completing the troubleshooting steps above. Troubleshoot issues with two graphics card

Perform clean NVIDIA Driver update rollback If your card and driver are combination is supported, and OpenGL worked, please review the following articles for additional troubleshooting.
If your card is supported but you are not on the correct driver, and the Download Latest Driver button does not work, please look for an updated driver here: Īdditionally, you can use the SOLIDWORKS Safe Mode to see if using OpenGL works: The RX tool can be u sed to diagnose your issues and to help determine if the graphics card is likely the source of your issue.Ĭheck the Diagnostic tab to confirm your card is supported and you have the correct driver. Closing SOLIDWORKS and opening it will reset this count.This article is designed to provide resources for troubleshooting a SOLIDWORKS launch failure that hangs or crashes at the splash screen, often without an error message. How can this problem be avoided? Do not keep your assemblies open unless you need them to be, and monitor your task manager periodically to see how many objects you are using. Over a long period of time this could reach the 10,000 mark, especially if you open the top level assembly. After opening and closing a part several times with an assembly open and then closing all documents it still used 1401 objects. When I originally opened SOLIDWORKS it used 939 objects with no documents open. Here is a table of a session I recorded on my computer: Description
The problem is only encountered when a part is open in an assembly and it is opened in its own window and then closed. SOLIDWORKS releases all handles every time. If a part is opened and closed several times the number of GDI objects it uses does not increase.

This is not caused by unhandled code error or memory sharing issues or anything else that causes a crash. Since SolidWorks does not release all objects when a document is closed that number it uses continuously increases with each new document opened.Ĭan this be used to predict when SOLIDWORKS will crash? Predicting a SOLIDWORKS CrashĪs mentioned earlier this is not technically a crash, if SOLIDWORKS reaches the 10,000 object limit windows terminates the process. What does all this have to do with SOLIDWORKS crashing? Windows has a default limit that a single process can only access 10,000 GDI objects. The default behaviour now is to release those handles, however not all of them are released. Prior so SOLIDWORKS 2011 SP4 if a part was open in an assembly and its own window when that window was closed it would not release those GDI objects. GDI objects are used for the chrome of the graphics area, so every time a new document is opened the number of GDI objects used by SOLIDWORKS will increase. For maximum performance the Graphics area takes advantage of OpenGL which gives more direct access to the video processing hardware. GDI objects are used to draw window elements that are not in the graphics area in SolidWorks. What I am showing is not technically a crash, but to users of SOLIDWORKS the result is the same.
