I'm a programmer by trade and all i ever do is: int i; i = i + 1; I'm glad to see other engineers are not so slack with their gra 'mm' ar and spelling. Thanks for the google spell checker info.

And, just to think, I double checked the post....:-D!

Hi, Just to square the books: 1) My point about 'does solid works 2005 have the feature?' inferred that, if it did, I was doing something wrong since they (solidworks) would not have dropped a feature. 2) 'Second hand' means I did not purchase the software new from a supplier and I can't get...

yeah....but doesn't

I don't espect anyone has 2006 sp0 (second hand) so the answer is, does 2005 definately have the feature or not? Ummmm .... pretty basic stuff though!

Thanks to all. I have SW2006 SP0. This is a pretty basic function and I'm supprised its not been in for years. It just doesn't let me add more than one of the same type?!?

I have a model that is over 2m long. I want to put 2 horizontal breats in it for a 2D diagram. I only seem to be able to put one in......am I missing something or can I not put 2 or more breaks into the view of the model?

Flex looks like the thing.....I'm having trouble getting it to flex along the flat of the angle iron and not the apex of the angle iron but the functionality certainly looks like what I want.... Thanks to all for their posts....

Hi, I have made a piece of angle iron from some sheet metal with a sketched 90 bend. All very simple..... I now want to bend the angle iron round a radius. Easy I thought....just put a nother stetched bend in ....set the radius and voila..........but you guessed it 'the computer says no'...

Hi All, Sorry for not coming back on this thread and thanks for all the comments (I've been away). I still can't get a distance mate to use equations. If I try an equation name in the distance value box solid works says 'no'. Is there a specific method. I can use equations in a part but not in...

Agreed, however they aren't but they can be.... Can equations not be used in distance mates?

Hi, I have a situation that is easily described. Consider a flat bar that is centered in the middle of another flat bar along the long dimension. I have various configurations varying the length of the longer bar. I want the position of the smaller bar to always be in the center of the longer...

I got it to work.....you can't select all the faces of the cube that coincide with the tube....I had to add two seperate welds to get it to weld all the way round the cube.......if you understand what I mean..... Thanks all for the comments. Charles

It's in an assembly Menu -> Insert -> Assembly Feature -> Weld bead... Charles

Hi, I can't seem to add a weld between a flat face of a box to the side of a tube. The flat face is coincident with the side of a circular tube but none of the welds seem to go...Does anyone have any ideas? yours Charles Durrant
