I second CBL. And be sure that your drawing standard is set to ANSI (remember this is set per drawing, so if the template isn't ANSI you'll have to change this each time).

What service pack are you running? I just tried the same thing in SP1.1 and couldn't use the PIH unless I suppressed the fillet.

Tangent mates won't work on spline curves. Might want to try using a sketch overlay with a close fit arc.

To turn it off (what I do because it drives me crazy too) - Tools > Options > System Options > Drawings > Uncheck "Show view palette"

Does anyone know of any way to get SolidWorks to do stick font (for easy translation into MasterCAM)? Just for clarification, stick font uses only straight lines. Think of an old school calculator and the way it displayed numbers and letters. Thanks

The patch worked great. Thanks for your help.

2D Driver Version:6.14.10.6613 3D Driver Version:6.14.10.5653 That's all the notes say from SolidWorks.

SW06 SP3.1, Windows XP Pro SP2 I checked the video card notes and it didn't say anything. I gotta say, this one really has me stumped.

Yes. Still not an option.

I'm trying to get RealView graphics to work on a new HP nw8440 with an ATI FireGL V5200 graphics card. The drivers are the most current tested and passing from SolidWorks, but the RealView graphics ball is still greyed out and when I go to edit a material it is not given as an option. Also...

ElectroMatt is correct. I'm actually relaying this issue from a client of ours and it is something that they run into on a daily level. Even with a macro how could you define the the edges are lined up perfectly if they are not selectable/defineable?

I have my sheet metal part designed in SolidWorks that needs to be converted into a DXF to be read into the machine for production. Currently I take the model, make a drawing of it displaying only the flat pattern and then covert that into a DXF. My question is this - is there any way to set...

All of these suggestions should work, but they're overkill. Instead of selecting the sketch from the display area, select the actual sketch icon from the FeatureTree or the FeatureTree Flyout Menu. This should fix your problem.

thanks for the quick responses! i got the answers i needed.

Does anyone know a way to create a perfect reverse isometric view in SolidWorks? If possible, using a standard set of rotation commands, or even better, if anyone has a macro for it, that would be great! I searched the forums for this information and was amazed to not match a single result. I...
