A PDM system like SolidWorks Enterprise PDM will keep track of versions checked-in and out. Go to Tools, Options, System Options, View and turn off everything under the Transitions section.ĭo you really, I mean really need a to create a back-up of your models? You don’t… if you have a good PDM system. I like having it on for the experience, but if your getting frustrated with slow speed, turn the experience off. Even with a moderately fast machine, this can slow down your workflow. If you’re running a slow computer, this is going to be a real annoyance for you as parts you hide, show and move around slowly fade and trudge into view.
