Thanks guys. CmAnD's idea will work, although I'm still curious to find out if there's a proper way to do this. zirtapoz, your solution only provides a full-section. I'm interested in a half-section view, as you see in the link...
Thanks!

Hopefully I'm just ignorant, but I can't for the life of me figure out a way to produce a half section in Solidworks? My end goal is to get an isometric half-sectioned view of a lathe'd piece -- for example, like http://www.tpub.com/content/draftsman/14276/img/14276_182_1.jpg ... but I can only...
ahhh, 2008 may bring it eh?... oh well, that's cool -- I'm sort of at the point now where I can model anything I want with a variety of methods, I'm just trying to learn all the little uncommon corners of the software for the occasional time-saver...
I was initially confused by your second...
Hi there -- is it possible to alter any of the hole wizard "Type" settings per config? I was hoping to fill out a design table with different NPT diams and have the wizard feature generate the NPT geometry, but seems like the hole wizard doesn't want to put itself into the design table, and for...
JMirisola's solution works fine for me; one cylinder has a limit mate (which effectively "constrains" that degree of freedom, the other cylinder has its own config with suppressed limit mate (so it doesn't further "constrain" things))
I had some trouble with SW not updating the flexible...
Good thinking - Works like a charm! I tried a second config but didn't think of suppressing the overdefining mate in one of them (when I word it that way, it seems way too obvious... smack forehead). Thanks!
Hi guys. Check out this pic:

What you see is a door on hinges, supported by two cylinders. The cylinders are (right now) made out of flexible subassemblies with a limitdistance mate for extension. With one cylinder it works fine...
2007 SP0... when I save as .dwg, it actually removes all hidden lines within the SW drawing too, haha. It's a function of SW, not whatever I use to view the dwg's.
It's a solid fix for me to re-change the views and re-save, but ... just kind of odd, obviously not normal...
Hi; anyone know why when I save my drawing as a .dwg, it decides to kill off all my hidden lines (and exports the dwg that way)? The only way I have of getting it to work is to save it like this, then change every drawing view on the sheet to a different view-type, and then back to "show hidden...
I'm wondering if anyone has found a good way to create drawings of singular pieces from a weldment. I have a weldment with about two dozen pieces, and I would like to have one drawing locating pieces, and one or two more drawings showing each individual cut & machined piece...
I think one...
cool, thanks rlj... that seems like it also may have worked... I thought I might be able to do something with the search directories like that, but that's more of a "patch over" and not actually solving the issue. I think Matt maybe you just interpreted the situation wrong.
In any case--opening...
And then after screwing around for an hour or two, I figure out the solution right after I post this...
SW only saves these changes for the parentmost open assembly and its direct children... subassemblies don't have these references saved for their children... our assembly in question has a...
Hi; I've got a problem. A previous employee made an assembly with files on one network drive letter, but now the files are on another network drive letter (Same directory otherwise). When opening the assembly, it says "cannot find file, would you like to find it yourself?" ... upon hitting yes...
