materials editor
materials editor
(OP)
Hi all
Ive tried to add new materials thru the materials editor but when I finish and check ok, the existing database disappears. Luckily the administrator has it copied or I'd be in a world of hurt! I've tried it a couple times with the same reults. We are on Sw2005 sp5. Network located databases, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary I thought.
Any thoughts. Thanks

Also check to make sure your path is setup correctly to the file.

RE: materials editor
The solidworks materials.sldmat is an XML file. While you can use notepad to edit it, I have found using an XML editor is easier. I use a free one called Peter's XML Editor. You can download a free copy at http://www.iol.ie/~pxe/
