I guess, SW must have dropped this one, but didn't remove from the help files :)

RE: SolidWorks 2D Emulator

I remember the AutoCAD-like emulator, but I think that was way back in SW05.

So it appears that it comes only with Premium versions of SW.

RE: SolidWorks 2D Emulator

Nope, I only have Standard. Well, actually it's Standard plus PW/PV and Feature Recognition modules ... so maybe not considered true Standard.

RE: SolidWorks 2D Emulator

(OP)
I read this on the solidworks user forum :

The 2D "AutoCad" Emulator is not avalible/installed on X64 machines. So while it still remains in the help documentation, if your computer and SolidWorks install is X64 you will not have the option.

RE: SolidWorks 2D Emulator

THe emulator causes lots of issues when turned on. You can't do certain things while in a sketch and causes some real hardship for users when they can't do the same SW functions like they used to.

I wish they would remove this add-in it does do anything good that I have ever seen.
