FAQ

Does SolidWorks REALLY take that long to start?

The first time SolidWorks is run on a particular machine, it will need to initialize several items. The startup time for this first run is approximately 7 minutes. Fortunately, the second time SolidWorks is run it will only take about one minute.

Where should I save files?

If working on the PCs in Fitzpatrick B209, you can use the AFS Client to get access to your AFS drive directly from the PC. Basically, this mounts your OIT-provided AFS drive on the PC. That way, your files will be saved centrally and will be accessible from any machine that has access to the AFS space. For machines that do not have access, you can get and put your files between AFS and the machine you are on using a file transfer client, such as SSH Secure File Transfer Client, FSecure, PSFTP, Fugu, or any of several other programs.

Can I access SolidWorks Remotely?

Unfortunately, no. SolidWorks is not installed as a networked program; rather, it exists on individual PCs.

Can I access SolidWorks from a Mac?

Unfortunately, no. SolidWorks is a PC-only program at present.
