Solidworks visualize is not saving project or picture of the project.

When I create a project, after 3-5 minutes, the project save and picture save buttons become inactive. I coundn't figure out how to fix it. Internet says it may be a GPU setting situation but no. I canno't save the project anyway. Any tips?

Try Save As instead of Save and change the file name or location.

Run the program as Administrator.

Save the project in a simple local folder (e.g. Documents), not Desktop, USB, external drives, or cloud folders.

Disable Auto-Save if the option exists.

Temporarily switch Graphics/Performance to CPU only (disable GPU acceleration) and restart the program.

Update or reinstall the software (cracked or outdated versions often cause this issue).

Check RAM usage — if it reaches very high values, close other programs or increase virtual memory.

As a workaround, duplicate or export the project early before the buttons become inactive.
