SolidWorks Hotfix for SmarTeam Users
There is a performance problem with a specific element of the SolidWorks API in SolidWorks 2009 SP4.1 and SP5.0 that can cause problems with the ENOVIA SmarTeam integration for SolidWorks. If you’re using the stated version of SolidWorks with SmarTeam, consider downloading and applying the relevant hotfix for SolidWorks.
The specific problem with SolidWorks is with the IAssemblyDoc::GetUnloadedComponentNames call in the API. This is a relatively new API method, and the hotfix (524963) addresses some performance problems with the call. Users may have experienced the problem as SmarTeam seeming unresponsive for several minutes while this method was being executed in the background. There are two different hotfixes (one for SP4.1 and one for SP5.0) available to SolidWorks subscription customers to address the problem. It is important to note however, that the hotfix should be removed before applying any further SolidWorks service packs. To learn more about the problem, and to download the appropriate hotfix, login to the SolidWorks Customer Portal and search for “S-044738″ in the SolidWorks Knowledgebase or contact us for help.
