Does anyone have this working on SWx 2010 running windows7? Brad Stoner Mold Design Engineer MSI Mold Builders SWx 2009x64 sp5.0

Assuming you know the center line you could creating multiple planes along the part. At each place create a circle with the center point along the axis. Have the circle constrained to the outer most part in that section. Create a point to the top of each circle. Then you can create a spline...

A variation of LManaco's solution is to split the part where you want the fillet to stop, create the fillet and combine. Brad Stoner Engineer/Product Development Legacy Manufacturing SWx 2006x64 sp4.0

Thanks for the quick reply, but that's not the one I'm after. It doesn't populate the custom properties or update the revision table correctly. It's placing the information in the title block. Brad Stoner Engineer/Product Development Legacy Manufacturing SWx 2006x64 sp4.0

A few days ago I ran across a macro on the web that would populate the revision table and corresponding custom properties. Does anyone know what site this may be? Thanks, Brad Stoner

If you are using the Cavity command to create your tooling it gives you the option to scale the entire model.

Another alternative that is often overlooked is the use of the SWx viewer. The viewer does not require the part/assembly to be present.

Did you happen to use the Copy Settings Wizard when setting up SolidWorks? If so I have your answer. The default location for the backup files is also copied. Chances are this directory doesn't exist on all computers. To fix go to the "Systems Options" page and select "Backup". Then change...

I have found one error that is causing problems. When using parts created in 2004, the selected contours do not all come in properly for cuts & extrudes.

Cory & TheTick, I have found the error in my ways. The option to "Allow model edits to update the design table" must be enabled in order for this to happen. Thanks for the help.

Scott, If you reread my posts you will notice I'm currently using Excel to do so. I'm just looking for a more time efficient manor of getting the results. After all the information is already there, why should I spend the time recreating it.

Scott, I believe that this could be a valuable tool that is currently missing. Currently when using a design table for a print you are limited to the dimensions that are driving. Often people will want to know what the reference / driven dimension is. What I want is a method to easily and...

Thanks for everybodys help. Guess I have an enhancement request to write now.

Scott, How do I get the design table to update the value of the driven dimension?

I am currently working on creating a composite print for a group of similar parts. These parts all have been generated using a design table. I have inserted the design table on the drawing. My question is it possible to reference a driven dimension on the design table. The other option I...
