    Creating an Excel Based BOM

    Is they anything special I need to do to create an Excel Based BOM for SW? Or is it as easy as adding in my catagories and saving the file (ie...Excel Based BOM.xls)? What is the down side to using an excel bases BOM over the std table? I see it as easier to feed that data into the MRP. Thanks...

    Library Feature (Cutout)

    Hello all, Iam want to create some std cutouts for avionics gauges that we use. I wanted these to be used as library features. My idea was to create the sketchs and fully constrain it then save it out as a .SLDLFP. Then open my part that needs to have the cutout applied and just drag it in...

    Did I get the wrong video card..?

    I just had a new Quadro FX 500 put in my dual cpu workstation. The only benifit Iam seeing right now is the rendering is a little faster. Other than that Iam not seeing a big quality jump. Should I have asked for the FX 1000 or 3000 instead? This card only has 128 mb on board.

    Real View graphics and rendering quality

    I recently built a new dual processor Xeon with a Quadro FX 500 video card. I need to be able to produce high quality renderings as part of sales support. With Real View enabled at which location do I assign material? Will real view assume the material I assign in Photoworks or is there a...

    Resources for Solidworks textures...

    Iam doing some studio grade renderings for work and I want to know if there is a resource out there to obtain textures (ie..TIFFS, BMP and JPEGS). Whether free or purchased. Solidworks (Photoworks) has some ok textures but I need things like high res wood decor, carpet.... Thanks
