[@chubbyBunny94]

Man, I've clearly been doing something my whole life; I've been using solidworks for 4 years now and I didn't even know the first tip

[@andrewscott985]

Hello! For everybody interested in enabling the RealView Graphics. IF you are using a professional graphics card (i.e. nVIDIA Quadro, ATI FirePro), the RealView Graphics mode should be enabled by default. Since you've asked the question, it seems that you use a non-professional graphics card, for which, the RealView Graphics mode has been disabled without an option to enable it. It is still possible to enable the option by using a program called RealHack 3.7, which enables the RealView Graphics option for SolidWorks 2005-2014 (try "RealHack 3.7" on Google). WARNING: You should understand that enabling the RealView Graphics option adds a considerable strain on a graphic card - this is why it's NOT available as an option for non-professional graphics cards. I'm telling you how to enable this, because I wanted the option very much and also, because I'm using RealView Graphics for more than two years with a GTX460 without any known problems. When creating SolidWorks, Dessault Systemes intentionally blocked the feature to prevent damage to the non-professional graphics cards, so I personally don't advise you to piss against the wind - DSS is not sending you to catch whales, on a jet-sky. Self documentation is STRONGLY advised - in other words: don't struggle to fry your gaming card. Cheers. P.S. I just love SolidWorks!

Thanks for the tip. I think many who have solidworks also have gaming graphics cards, some of which are highly capable, so it's sort of silly that this is blocked for those graphics cards.

Thanks! ... I already know all of this. Does this make me a Solidworks Guru ?? It is good video for newbies though.

Nicely done!

[@ericjie86]

great tips.... how do view the realview does NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M support on the 2011 version solidwork?

[@chriscavanagh1347]

Thanks for the great video. At 6.53 you activated a pop up that you referred to as Fits and Fillets. How did you bring up that pop up selection box? It doesn't appear to be the s key trick.

[@thedillestpickle]

I think he had it available on his "s key" for features. He has probably customized his, which is easy to do if you hit s key, then right click you will see customize option. That will open the option window and you can add whichever shortcuts you want to the s key popup.

[@TheSuperKlies]

Awesome tips. thanks

[@kamazaff]

Awesome!!! You can be one of the top Solid Works trainer or instructor... Can you make it into 60 SW tips in 60 minutes?? I believe you can :-)

[@uliultrubadur]

Hey, great tut ! I have a question though... How do you get that quick command next to your cursor ?

[@Gottenhimfella]

Right Mouse click

[@CNCProgrammer-hw8pt]

"Hold" right mouse click and hover over the desired feature and then release.

[@zychus1]

How to set options for shining elements and mirrored background?

[@kennethcole02]

thank you very much sir

[@ft7397]

9:20 how do you bring out dimentions tool while you draw circle?

[@ft7397]

thanks a lot

[@MaxmillionMcLaughlin]

How does he have the parts semi-rendered like that while working?

[@Gottenhimfella]

By selecting "RealView"

[@Gottenhimfella]

One timesaving thing he neither did, nor talked about: he exits the sketch before choosing a feature based on that sketch. That's not necessary for (say) extrude: you can choose the feature and it will automatically close the sketch. (Since LONG before 2012 when this clip was made)

[@TheJavonplayer]
