Solidworks in Parallels on rMB

[ffnc1020]

I just got my Macbook today and I immediately installed Parallels and Windows 10, which works great. However I can't get Solidworks to work properly. Does anyone have any experience on how to get it to work on rMB? This is what it looks like when I open a new part file.

Try installing the Parallels Tools.

EDIT: and also don't forget to enable 3D acceleration.

Where is 3D acceleration, is it for Parallels or Solidworks? Thanks!

Currently I don't have Parallels installed myself so I can't guide you through it myself. But I've found this link that explains it well as well: http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v5/docs/en/Parallels_Desktop_Users_Guide/22986.htm

It's actually enabled already, I have DX10 and v-sync on. I found that I can use software openGL to have it working, but it feels a little sluggish. At least I have something I can work with. Thanks for the help!

Just why... i mean a "low end" cpu for 3d is already not a good choice.... running it in a virtualized environment is even worse....
My suggestion is to make a partition with windows (bootcamp) and run solid work there, at least you take "full advantage" of the "cpu / gpu".

Thanks for helping! I just need something at home to view and maybe edit something from time to time. The only two thing I need from Windows are Xbox app and occasionally solidworks, which really can't justify install a boot camp Windows. I have a MBP for work.
I tried that workaround and nothing changed, still have to use software OpenGL.

Did you reboot?? Sorry to hear that you had no difference .... if I find something else I will report it.
