    Crosshatch selection in models and drawings

    Is there way to change a crosshatch in a drawing file, in my case the scale, without clearing the check in the ‘material crosshatch’ box? We want the model material to drive the drawing for crosshatch selection. The problem we have is the default at the model level is at a scale of 1 and appears...

    Planes

    What I might be telling you may be similair to handleman's suggestion...but you may need to check ON 'Display Shaded Planes' under Tools/Options/System Options/Display-Selection. You can change the transparency under Tools/Options/Document Properties/Plane Display. Hope hat helps. Edson Gebo...

    Internal ID Problem

    Always work out of a local drive whenever possible when using SolidWorks. I've seen similar issues like this especially if you are working out of several directories thru an intranet connection. When opening an assembly in SolidWorks there is a hierarchy set of searches to find all the parts...

    Insert BMP, text hides behind object...

    josephv...that's interesting that CADRA is considered 2.5D. I am really not sure what that means. I can't bash the software though...it provided a paycheck when I needed it most. I like your tip and it will be considered. ctopher...I know exactly what you mean but the drive is to make all (or...

    Insert BMP, text hides behind object...

    Ok...I looked quick but I couldn't find any fix or reason to the problem I am having. We use snapshots for representation of wiring configurations in our electro-mechanical assemblies. When a note or a note with a leader is used to define an object in the picture, the text hides behind the...

    What? Sworks 2007 cannot be saved to a previous version?

    FYI to all...eDrawings make a quick and easy file for viewing both model and drawing. Make sure to publish with the html option...it embeds the necessary files to open and view the model and drawing. Or you can give your costumer the link to download SW Viewer or eDrawing viewer. I agree with...

    What's important on a resume¦...

    from MadMango: "HR can't tell the difference even when we tell them what to look for. I always wonder who we have passed-up due to HR's screening attempts..." A possible answer to MadMango's statement... "Ask your competitors!"

    What's important on a resume¦...

    I disagree with a photo of any kind in a resume. However, I carry a portfolio of the more important 3D models I have created and/or designed. This portfolio also makes for great conversation for those who are interested to look thru it and want to ask questions. I'm also proud to have it with me...

    What's important on a resume¦...

    I had a one page resume but it seemed I was skimming the surface on some of the skills and knowledge I had achieved over the years. Also, the font size was getting smaller and smaller just so I could fit it on one page. With a two page resume I'm able to convey what I deem important but as the...

    broken-out section view in a detail view?

    cmm...I’m not sure of or fully understand the question…you may want to re-word it for clarification but I think you’re trying to create a ‘broken out section’ view from a ‘detail view’…as in Detail ‘A’ or possibly Section ‘B-B’. If so then SolidWorks doesn’t let you do this. I get this message...

    Objects disappearing from drawing!

    Silash...please state what SW version and SP you are using. Have you tried changing the view from a shaded to wireframe just to see what happens? Can you right click on the part in the assy? Do they appear in the tree display? Edson Gebo Mechanical Designer/Drafter SW2007 SP2.0 Cadra 2006 (yup...

    titles

    That's interesting to know about states with a specific law. Correct if I am wrong but if someone attends and graduates from a 4 year college with a B.A. in M.E., they should at the least be able to use the title of an engineer. Why would a company NOT want to advertise that they have degreed...
