i ran into something like this yesterday.
r-click the drawing view, properties, then in the bottom left it says "BOM" and there's a checkbox. Make sure it's checked AND make sure you select the drop down list below the checkbox. If it's set to <none> then it still won't work. you usually...
can someone recommend any good notebooks (laptop computers) that will run SolidWorks?
I work with Large assemblies, and I kind of like widescreens but not necessarily a must.
I tried searching the sw knowledge base and emailing my vendor, but haven't found anything so far
thanks for any replies.

to discuss how a beta, or solidworks in general runs on hardware is hardly divulging national secrets...
i'm thinking of getting it, but i don't want to spend that kind of money if the improvement isn't around 2x or more.
it's a beta version of solidworks, and i'm not a beta...
I'm looking to hear from anyone who is using the swXenglish.exe new
version of solidworks. it's a 64 bit beta version. you must have a
xeon processor and the windows XP 64 bit edition to run this beta.
Xeon Processor computers aren't that much more money than other
computers these days, and the...
if I understand this correctly, I can think of three different ways to do this, depending on what you want the dimension to look like.
If you're using hole wizard, find the icon for "hole callout", it's in the annotations toolbar (or insert, annotations, hole callout). It looks like a c'bore &...
i created a drawing with a front and top view, put two vertical breaks in the front view, and the top view didn't update.
delete the top view,
put the two breaks in the front view
right click that view, then select "break view"
make a project view straight up of the broken view
and the breaks...
Some replies mention centerline symbol is not current. I agree, however there's still a couple times I like to use it. When I make inspection prints for the optical comparator and want someone to use the center of a part or even more often, when there's several ordinate dimensions close to...
ok,
still something i'm not getting. when you edit a material database file (.sldmat) whatever you use to edit, you can't save it as a .sldmat file. Even if you don't change anything at all, and just make a new one, it will not re-open (at least for me and people where i work) in solidworks...
Something that might help, I'm not sure.
Highlight the view, select View, Hide all types. this will get rid of any sketch lines showing that might be there.
also, highlight the view and select View, Display, Tangent edges removed.
I've had trouble hiding lines the same as you in the past...
If I read you right, I think you need to "Link" the design table excel file to the drawing.
In SW2003, right click the table, select 'edit definition' (edit feature in SW2004), make sure under source "from file" is checked.
under that is where you can browse to the table...
Without reading the replies...
Rocksolid2, I do this all the time, you just have to right click in the drawing area, then click "EDIT SHEET"
you are in sheet format if they disappear like that,
hope this helps
This exact thing happened to me today.
I didn't really fix it, or figure it out. What I did was checked my layers, then made sure it was on it's own layer (they usually are).
Then I deleted the layer! This is one way to get rid of it.
not the preferred method I'm sure, but it works to get rid...
Here is a place you can find an excellent solidworks library.
http://www.reidtool.com/shopping/store/reidcad.asp
it's the Reid Tool Catalog.
i'd say over half the parts in the catalog are modeled in sw's.
Scott,
Maybe I wasn't clear enough on this, I'm already editing my design tables in a seperate window. What I'm looking for is a way to define the borders of that table, so when i insert it into a drawing, the "outer border" of the design table is what I want, not some random...
