I have always (SW 2004 - 2008) run into this issue.
Pain in the rear. You need to adjust the crop or detail circle to get the selections made. After dimensions are applied you can reverse the view adjustment. If anyone knows a cure I would be most appreciative.

Wow, you got a deal. I just ran these spec.s on the Dell site and a system like the one you describe comes close to 3K. Where are you buying from?

Thanks Handleman, this is what we thought and which leads to my point. Since SW does not know which angle I am asking for should an arrow for direction or both possible angles be listed? An "Other Solutions" dialogue is available for plane construction that could be an option here.
I was...
Yes, I have picked up on that relationship. The problem is the holes are either 96° or 264° apart not 84°.

I have a cylinder with two side ports which are 96° apart.
The ports were made from separate planes built "on surface" of the cylinder and driven to their respective angles by one sketch (Which is in turn Design Table configured). When I use the measure tool on the axis of the ports it says the...
I want to customize the little pop up menu that appears after you have selected a part or surface. Any ideas for that one?

I upgraded to 3.0 and now all of my models have lost their Pizzazz. Everything is grey and must be opened in part mode and updated.
And if I have the Photoworks add-in turned on, the access to the Edit Color and Edit Texture is locked out. My question is whether or not this has happened to...
Another thought -
You could add a very small extrude to the model and then sketch could be manipulated in a drawing as stated by these other fine gentlemen.

Print the sketch while in the model. It will not have a fancy title block but you can make a paper copy of what is on the screen.

Try opening the part and use "Edit Color". You can adjust the level of transparency there until the component looks like a wireframe view in the drawing.

Finally, a question I can answer!
TihomirJ,
I believe your issue is that you are making the modifications at "the assembly level".
Solidworks is interpreting this as something you want to do after you have assembled it.
To modify a part in an assembly and have it show at the part level you...
