Use "Pack and Go". You can change the file names before you save everything. It updates the references. You still have to do them one at a time but all the files are listed in the dialog box.

Is it possible to automatically execute a macro when SWX starts?

I'm just looking for some opinions/experience from someone that has used it. I'm trying to figure out if it could be useful for my company.

Does anyone have experience with RobotWorks that they are willing to share?

You can make drawings of individual weldment bodies using "relative views". I do it all the time.

I put a circular center mark on the hole pattern, this puts in a center line circle to represent the bolt circle. Then I dimension the resulting bolt circle. The only thing is that this dimension comes in as a radius, you have to go into its properties and change it to a diameter dimension.

Like Eltron says, use Hole Wizard. Then to change the number of holes, right click on the polygon and choose "edit polygon" from the menu.

I like to use a circumscribed polygon, make it construction geometry and put a hole at each vertex.

Yah, it works if both the pin and hole are chamfered. It doesn't work if only the pin is chamfered. I'm on SP 2.2.

Nope, doesn't matter how you grab the part, the smart mate won't work if there is a radius or chamfer on both ends of the pin.

I just started playing around with the "peg in hole" smart mate. It seems that this doesn't work if there are radiuses or chamfers on both ends of the pin. These features must be suppressed in order for the smart mate process to work. They can then be resolved and everything is fine. THis seems...

You can re-define your views, if that helps any.

I just got an M65 and I really like it.

I used the DVD for the original install and tried both the DVD and CD for the update, with the same result.

I used the DVD but I had to go and find English_i386_SolidWorks.Msi on the DVD. The installer wouldn't find it on its own.
