In comparing Pro/E to Solidworks I found something I really like in SW!

.....when I hit the little "X" box up in the far upper right corner, it closes very quickly!

‌That just doesn't compare to "Creo has stopped responding." or "Fatal Error! Results being written to traceback.log file." The day just isn't fun if you don't get these multiple times a day.

Actually, I've found SW more unstable.  It seems slower, and crashes easier, and I haven't done anything complicated yet.  What was causing creo to crash, for me, was Windburn, or if I was trying to extend rules from an assembly down to a TON of parts made in various releases.

Just today, had Creo hang on a crash. How can software not even successfully crash? Sigh. Checked Task Manager - 0% CPU, no CPU time, no change in any memory allocations. Dead as a door nail. My crime - I closed a window and Creo failed to switch to the next one.

What do you mean David?  That sounds like a spectacularly successful crash!    LOL

In fact, we were doing a webex and the guy was running SW....and it crashed.

I like when Solidworks Certified Trainers pay me to produce models for them because "Solidworks can't do it".

...you mean like this:

or this:

Similar yes but a lot simpler.

Best.  SW.  Project.  EVER!

SW 2015 is a terrible release. The most unstable platform yet.

2014 was excellent.

I shudder to see whats coming with 2016 with it's new UI

[Patriot_1776]

A LOT of people are complaining on the SW forum about the 2015 release, glad I'm playing with 2014.....

Funny then that my '15 SW crashes less than Creo 2 M040.  I've given both serious workouts.  But I do find a lot of things in SW annoying at best.

[Inoram]

But if I remember right every build past M040 crashes less then M040. M200 is out. I am on M190 which has crashed once ever since release. You know I am going to keep giving you a hard time about running a 2.5 year old build!!!

[TomD.inPDX]

Has it really been that long?

Happy Holidays, Buddy!

[Inoram]

Happy Holidays!

yes m040 came out Feb 2013.

I am sort of afraid to go to m200 at the moment, m190 has been running good. Although I seem to have some kind of conflict related to Creo that crashes Windows Explorer once in awhile which is annoying.

I need to read the update notes thing when I get a chance.
