Beyond the content of the SolidWorks document, there are other factors that affect file size.This may place the SolidWorks journal file in the current directory which will slow SolidWorks' performance. Don't start a SolidWorks session by double-clicking on a file on a network drive.Set the "SolidWorks Journal File" to save on a "local" directory (not on the network).Clean out this directory and the Windows\Temp directory periodically. Set your "TempSWBackupDirectory" backup directory to a "local" directory (not on the network).Stay up to date with the latest service packs.Turn off any add-ins you are not going to be using.If you are using a graphics card that supports OpenGL, make sure the "Use Software OpenGL" is turned OFF.Turn off the gradient background and shadows.For more information, review this article in the SolidWorks Express newsletter.NOTE: Generally, files on the local computer may not get backed up by networked based backup software. Accessing files from your local computer is faster than loading the files from the network. Where possible, load SolidWorks documents from your local computer.These tips are not intended to be a repeat of tips you can find elsewhere on the internet. My own versions of tips and tricks that I use when working with SolidWorks.
