HELP- SW Custom Standard and Custom Holes

HELP- SW Custom Standard and Custom Holes

HELP- SW Custom Standard and Custom Holes

(OP)
I am trying to add custom holes to the hole wizard in SW2010.

To do that as I understand I need to create a new standard and then add hole wizard features. To create a new standard I must copy an existing one over to base a new one of off.

The problem is I can find the "copy standard" button that the help file instructs me to use.

ctopher,

Nothing on you tube pertaining to custom standards unfortunately.


CorBlimeyLimey,

Actually 2010 is very different, my window looks very different from that video if you take a look at the linked screen shot above. I still cant locate that damn "copy standard" button.

CorBlimeyLimey,

My window looks almost like yours but not exactly. I don't have those check boxes under every item inside a standard and that copy standard button up top is missing too :(

Do you have 2010? Maybe my installation is messed up?

RE: HELP- SW Custom Standard and Custom Holes

You are in the 2 - Customize Hardware section (see top LH corner next to the Toolbox logo).

You need to select the 1 - Select Hardware section first (see the image I posted), and then select a hardware type. The Copy Standard option should then appear.
