Can i get past the 500 meter limit in swx 2007?
Is it the same in 2008-9?

RE: Workspace limits
No magic that I am aware of to get around those workspace limits.
Be sure to put in an enhancement request to change the limits.

I just created a cylindrical part R500m x 500m long, then inserted that into an assy and made a pattern of 1000 instances at 1000m spacing ... and then mirrored the pattern.

That is good to know. Thanks for investigating.
Not that we are ever likely to work on anything that big, we tend to be at the other extreme.

RE: Workspace limits
I recently tried to sketch a belt conveyor profile with a concave vertical curve that was around 600 m. This is not unusual in some of the belts we design. The conveyor was about 500m long.
It was interesting that I could not use a radius of 600 m. The program may assume the diameter formed by the radius.
There are some plant layout packages that can be used for for process plant design. The big advantage of these is supposed to be the interface between P&ID's and arrangement drawings. I understand these packages are limited when it comes to areas like crushing and screening which typically have a lot of conveyors and chutes. In the company for whom I'm currently working, they are using Inventor to model equipment which is then imported into the plant layout package.
It seems to me that at present Pro E has the jump on Solidworks in this environment, however, I'd like to think that SW is closing the gap fast.
I have been advised that the 1 k limit is to be lifted in the 2009 version of SW. Hopefully this will be operational within the next five years...
RE: Workspace limits
can't anyone "hack" some dll-file or someting to get past the limitations? "It can't be rocketscience"
