So, I think I'm a little closer to getting what I want. I was able to show the annotations and edit the hole note. Do I need to edit each hole note for every part? Also, the hole callout format that I have in my .hol file works for tapped holes, but for C-Bore holes, the callout needs to be...

Hello, I have browsed through all the information on setting up custom .hol files for Pro/E and finally got it setup like I like it - I think. My problem is that it seems that the hole note is stored in the feature so holes created with the original .hol file are not updated. I would have to...

I would like to swap the keys used to pan (Shift) and zoom (Ctrl). Is that possible to do through possible a config setting? I still want to keep the system functions of the keys like multiple select using the control key. As a long time user of Solidworks that is now using Solidworks and...

brengine, I think adding the definition is what I needed. Ill continue to give it heck and see if it works. Thanks for your help.

Here is the code with the first few lines. The Set part = activedoc line does that, right? Private Sub CommandButton15_Click() Set swApp = Application.SldWorks Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc 'Close If CheckBox4 = True Then swApp.CloseDoc sFileTitle Else End If End Sub

Hello, I am working on a macro with some common commands that i can check off and press a button and it applies all the commands with a check. One command I am having trouble with is the close current document. I have tried a couple of different variations that I found by searching, but the...

Since your part is a scan, the aorta is probably made up of more that a couple of surfaces, so this may not work. But, I was suggesting that you select the surface(s) that make up the aorta, and use the knit surface feature to create a 0 offset surface of the outer aorta walls. There should be...

I would also try to do a knit surface on the aorta, and try to unitrim or extend the surface to fill in the holes where the arteries branched off. Then just do a cut with surface.

I have been using SolidWorks with MS Office 2000 since SW 2006, and never have problems. Currently I am using SW 2009 SP 4.1.

Well, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one having this frustrating problem. We have two logos on one of our drawing formats, one never dissipates and the other one comes and goes. Maybe it's the way I'm putting it in....Insert, Picture, select the image.

I too have dealt with a lot of die cast and injection molded part drawings, and sometimes the best way to deal with them are to create extra features or sketches that you can reference in the drawing. -Brian

McMaster-Carr has great examples, you may even be able to use a screw right off their website. -Brian

Yes, over my years of usage, I have found many work arounds. But, that always requires more operations, hence more time to complete a task.

So, what I am seeing, is that it is not possible to have an automatic equal diameter relation, or similar automatically added while sketching. Only some of the relations like horizontal and tangent can be automatically added. This seems like a big weak spot in the SW sketcher tat could stand...

I have been trying to find a way how to do this for a while now. If anyone has used Pro/E before, they know that they can draw two circles as close to horizontal as possible and a horizontal constraint will be automatically added. The same is true for symmetric, equal, and many others. Does...
