    Weight Calc Question

    I am using cement blocks in an assembly and corresponding assy drawing to show how a product is installed to the block wall. The problem is with the automatically generated weight in the title block. SW is including the cement blocks. Is there a way to have the weight calculation exclude...

    DB Works question (should be simple)

    We do not have the enterprise version. I guess until we get that version a strong "Do Not Use That Feature" will have to do. Thanks very much for the info. Drake M. www.taylordyno.com When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    DB Works question (should be simple)

    How can that option be disabled? I was told that was not possible. Thanks, Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    DB Works question (should be simple)

    DBWorks is a VERY powerful tool. The automation it provides, saves us huge amounts of time from a paperwork perspective. The paperwork we used to have to do for a project used to be about 2/3 of the project time overall. Now we can automatically generate BOMs, reports, changes, updates...

    DB Works question (should be simple)

    Actually, I did find a quick way to update the path. When opening up DBWorks you have the option of opening for Browsing, or opening for Updating. I used the Updating option. Then, I did a search for the drawing and it listed it with the old path. As long as you use the Updating option you...

    DB Works question (should be simple)

    I used windows, cut & paste into the new location. Should I have used a different method? When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    DB Works question (should be simple)

    I have moved a SW drawing from one directory to another. Now when I try to open the drawing, the preview window in DBWorks states that the file does not exist. This is correct, it no longer exists (in that location). How do I edit the path to the new location? I thought this would be a...

    Auto length update based on sketch line?

    ctopher, Is there a reason to use a 3DSketch rather than a 2D? Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    Auto length update based on sketch line?

    To make my question as simple as possible, assume I have a sketched line 24" long. Now, I have a steel rod extruded along that line that I would like to automatically update based on the length of this line. Example, I make the line 30" long and the steel rod is now 30" as well. It seems like...

    Toolbox method question

    Thanks for the replies. Personal preference is what I thought and I just wanted to see if the group had a different opinion. Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    Toolbox method question

    I noticed that the flat washers in toolbox (SW2006) are created using the revolve command. Whenever I have created them I have always extruded my sketch of 2 circles. Is there a benefit to using the revolve over the extrude in this example? The 2 circle sketch and extrude seems like it would...

    Linking a drawing view in a Word Document??

    OK, what I need to do is link specific drawing detail views into a Word document. I am making an instruction manual and I need to give them detail views for assembly. How can this be done while maintaining a link so that if the model changes, the drawing view in the Word document updates as...

    Exploded Line Sketch Question

    Yahoo, I found a way to do it. If you click the option "High Quality" in the detail view properties, the exploded line sketch is added. I guess I should have looked more before posting the question. Unfortunately, I have someone coming over here about every 5 minutes asking if the job is done...
