Unable to do calculations in Modify Dimension Dialog
Unable to do calculations in Modify Dimension Dialog
(OP)
When entering a dimension value in the Modify dialog, I can enter "1/2" for a .50 dimension, but I can not perform any other calculation. I get the error "Please enter a number between XXXXXXX and YYYYYYY". I am also not able to enter Equations. No matter what I try (including "TEST = 1") I get the error "Equation entered is invalid".
It seems as though the math function is turned off or something. Any ideas?
TIA,

Not sure any of us can help you with such an old version of SolidWorks.

I suspect you'll run into other problems as well.

I've never used design tables. I'll give that one a try. I bought this seat to do some contract work years ago. Since then, I've been full-time with 3 different companies that all used ProE. I prefer SolidWorks but just haven't used it in about 7 years.

That KB article does not apply for your vintage version of SW.

I would recommend upgrading to 2011 and then you have near the issues you are experiencing today.

But I agree totally, it is time for an upgrade...

With some other systems you need to buy the full license all over again and they force you to pay maintenance.
