SolidSmack: How to Make your Own Custom Background for SolidWorks

  • Josh · 2 years ago
    Just a note for you demo jocks, I use to create a background image that had the companies logo on it or would put the logo on the product.

    With what you can do with graphics now days, you can create some really enticing demos.

    Hi Josh:

    Any performance impact with a high-resolution image as background of graphic window?
  • Josh · 2 years ago
    Lin, hi. You'll get some more resources being used, but I haven't had it interfere with my work. If you get some lagging or notice performance issue, you may want to try a different file format. I'd stick to .jpg or .png. tif and .bmp are usually a lot bigger in size. I'm not sure how SolidWorks is using these behind the scenes, but you will notice a RAM spike when you try different backgrounds out. If you have 2GB or up of RAM you should be ok.

    I read similar article also named Make your Own Custom Background for SolidWorks | SolidSmack - SolidWorks 3D CAD Technology Design Blog, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
