Problem with SolidWorks with latest drivers
In large assembly drawings in SolidWorks 2010, the views need to be redrawn anytime you zoom in or out. With the latest driver package (3.9.0) it isn't doing a redraw unless I use my regular mouse to zoom.
I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled 3.8.3 and it seems to be working correctly, so I am assuming it is a problem with the latest update.

Would it be possible to send us a drawing document (and all other documents linked to from the drawing) that can be used to reproduce the issue?

I am also seeing the same problem with the latest driver. If I use the Spacepilot to zoom into a drawing, the views & lines look like draft mode views with wide crayon sized lines. This is on a system running Windows Vista 64 bit with an Nvidia Quadro FX1700 with driver 8.15.11.8618 I am running the same driver on my laptop with a Spacepilot running Windows 7 64bit with a Quadro M360M & driver version 8.17.11.9562 and don't see this behavior. I didn't have this with the older drivers but have not went back to an older driver yet.
Hi jalcad,
Thanks for sending us the data.
We tried to reproduce the issue and we're not seeing anything wrong. What we did was to load your drawing document (there's only one in the sample file set) in SW2010 and compared the zoom performance using the 3D mouse and mouse wheel.
Sure enough, your model will put the system under stress but we do not see a difference in the view quality if using a 3D mouse or a normal mouse.
Perhaps we should be looking elsewhere? What do you suggest we should be checking instead?

I uninstalled 3.9.0 and reinstalled 3.8.3. The file I was having the problems with would still show the huge crayon lines for approx 2 seconds and then it refreshed & was normal again. So I would say that something in the 3.9 driver is at fault but what that is I wouldn't have any idea. This is with Windows Vista 64 bit.
