e-drawings of large assemblies
e-drawings of large assemblies
(OP)
When I create an e-drawing of an assembly made up of several parts and sub-assemblies, the views seem to be cut off, as though there was a clipping plane between the object and the viewer. What causes this to happen?
The drawing shows a milling machine inside a building. Another shows a milling cutter with a number of carbide inserts placed on it.
I am using Solidworks 2001 and the associated version of e-drawings, version 1.4.1.
Thanks for any help.

RE: e-drawings of large assemblies
At home I have a nVidia Geforce2 MX400 64mb, but at work I have a Gloria III... so that's what I am thinking.
Of course it might also have to do with the fact that SWX has a "set-size design space" which limits how large of an assembly/part you can make. I do not remember how big this is, but I am sure someone will post this size shortly. Not sure if this still exists in SWX01+.

Regarding the size of the design space, it is a one kilometer cube. For me, this only has been a problem if I try to draw an arc with a radius of more than one kilometer, and I've found a work around for that.
Thanks for your help, it seems as though Solidworks is quite sensitive to the video card.
