    Find Reference for whole assembly!

    This interconnection is a real nightmare and I never came to this. But... most users save the drawing to same directory and with the same name as model and those most users would like to copy drawings from the same directory and same same name as models found by SolidWorks Explorers. And this...

    Find Files Macro

    For components that do not have meaningful names we start .bat file with dir command that writes all files with paths from subdirectories into one logfile and our custom search program is able to quickly find file and open them by using this logfile.

    Space Ball usage with SW

    I have had one for 3 years and I love it. It allows manipulating the model as it were in you hand. Its big advantage is that it works during EVERY command. For example while entering dimension value, you might have a wish to zoom or pan to some place else and the model is moving already. All our...

    I got the "Unhandled Error", will upgrading to 2004 solve this debacle

    TOOLBARS-GET MOVED WHEN I REDUCE & MAX.. WINDOW SIZE-CAN I LOCK EM I

    The need for resizing the window would be when saving i.e. jpg picures because they will be of exact SW window size. But in that case you could resize the model window only, not the application.

    Edit dimension access

    How often do you find edit dimension access feature usable? Wouldn't it be more powerful if it would apply also to assembly mates?

    Copy and Paste

    Addition to Shaggy18VW: You should try yourself how the link option works on updated drawings and if you like this behaviour. My excel asked for update but Word did it silently. Then open picture toolbar and use crop tool (zig-zag icon) to crop drawing view to wished size.
