    GD&T - Concentric circles

    Hi, I am trying to show that two parts with semi-circles come together where the semi-circles are concentric and the profile of the semi-circles matches each other (same diameter). The semi-circles do not have the same arc-length, however and the parts themselves are different overall sizes...

    Drawing becomes Corrupt?

    It's possible to be the drawing template. Does a similar error occur with other assys? No other errors occur with any other assy Does the error always list the same part shown in your posted image? I change the file name of them and create new ones. These files all show the same error. If you...

    Drawing becomes Corrupt?

    Also, This is an issue that doesn't seem to easily show what the cause is, and from my experiences with VAR support, many cases like these usually end up not getting solved... (at least for me). Not trying to put any VAR down, but I am quite capable with the computer and if I can't understand...

    Drawing becomes Corrupt?

    I have already done that. Looking for additional help. Usually I can solve most issues on my own before VAR is able to get SW involved and ready to delve into the problem. Do you think the template may have something to do with it? (I do use a custom drawing template, but its not WILDLY...

    Drawing becomes Corrupt?

    Hello all, The error first occurred when I was editing the drawing file. An error about that particular file’s auto-recovery file was showing up every time I tried to save or tried to edit the properties of an object. Along with the auto-recovery file error, Another error followed it stating...

    Configurations - Not Staying Suppressed

    I remember someone telling me that I can't use design tables and modify configurations at the same time or something along those lines??? But the main reason why I cannot use design tables is because I am doing CAD Automation and Automation + design tables don't get along.

    Drawing View - Wrong Configuration/State

    The problem feature is the notching at the end of the parts. That notching is governed by one feature being suppressed and unsuppressed. I managed to edit the files in a bunch of places while maintaining the error. I was able to edit all feature names, all planes' names that are in-use, all...

    Configurations - Not Staying Suppressed

    How do I check associations of weld bead features? I am not having issues with trying to suppress a feature and having other ones become suppressed along with it. The problem is that I am designating features to be suppressed because the associated parts in the specific configurations are...

    Configurations - Not Staying Suppressed

    Hello, I am having an issue with configurations for Solidworks. At this moment in time, I am having issues with Weld Beads, but I believe this issue occurs for many other things such as features, dimensions, etc. but I do not notice them as much as problems with Suppressing/Unsuppressing Weld...

    Drawing View - Wrong Configuration/State

    Not sure I can do that. Cannot really duplicate the problem atm either. I tried to trim the parts and drawings down to just the problem areas but when I do that, the problem disappears.

    Drawing View - Wrong Configuration/State

    Alrighty, So i painstakingly installed the 8.17.12.7071 drivers. Opened the drawing, and the problem still exists in the same manner. PICTURE ATTACHED. Any other driver related info/suggestions? Any other suggestions or personal...

    Drawing View - Wrong Configuration/State

    hmmm. I kind of doubt that its a problem with the card or driver, but its a possibility. Graphics Card: Quadro FX 4800 Driver: 191.56 Thanks for stopping by.

    Drawing View - Wrong Configuration/State

    I have tried changing configurations and it works correctly. That was one of the first things I tried to find out what the issue was but it does not solve my issue. Changing from default to another config shows the configuration i am switching to correctly (with notches). Then changing back...

    Drawing View - Wrong Configuration/State

    This is a part of our design automation project. The files are generated and when first opened, should show the correct views depending on what configuration they are set to show as. I have a part that has a configuration with a notch on the ends and another configuration without notches. *...

    Drawings - Caterpillar Annotation Issues - Not Showing/Not Applying

    Hi everyone, I am in the process of putting in caterpillar annotations to the SW Drawing file (i know that using caterpillars is not the "proper" way to annotate welds but this is how it is done here) I have a lot of the caterpillars set up for most of the different drawing views/detailed...
