    Windows Explorer Right-Click Menu...

    Registering the sldshellutils8u.dll didn't do the trick. Thank you for the quick reply... Could eDrawings have something to do with this? When I first installed SolidWorks, all of my icons for SW part/assy/drw were eDrawing icons. I had to change them to SW icons (manually). Could eDrawing...

    BOM Quantity Link...

    I use tabs in my assembly drawings for the individual part drawings and would like to add a "Quantity Needed" field to each of the part sheet titleblocks. The BOM adds up the quantity needed for each part, but I can't figure out how to get that information to each of the sheets. Is there a way...
