Can you save this file (parts/assembly) as a IGES/STEP file within Solidworks? Can you do your work around this format?
Do you need all the features (Feature design tree)?
If all you need is the body (dummy) to get the geometry required to create tools, maybe all you need is a different format...
Yes! it gives me a good idea when to switch.
Thanks KMaren.

....oh! ok, tbryant I was not aware of that.
I guess a network license does not help much...this is even worst!

Thank you for your comments. I do agree about piracy and dishonest customers but, until we decide to go and get a network license this will remain to be a nightmare for us!!

Good Morning, day, evening whatever you are!
I received an email for an "Administrators Summit" to talk about licensing policies and distribution methods for SW2007.
My question is, Does anyone know what this is all about?
because the current policy is ridiculous and I do not need more...
Thank you all for your advise, so far it seems is better to keep standard components away from PDMW.
In the mean time, I'll check some of the case studies included on the training book.
One reason we are switching to the SW Toolbox is because we want to add more folders with electronics...
Good morning!
We have decided to use toolbox instead of our custom files (fasteners), we also use PDMWorks. My question is, Do you have any advise on what to do on files that are not revision managed (really don't care if they are in the vault or not) ? ...check them in?....make one copy an put...
I must be missing something, 'cause it does not work.... I've created the views (one per configuration) added the notes, each linked to a unique custom property....then link each note to a cell in the general table.
I did notice when using $PRPMODEL:"CUSTOM PROP", cell is blank but, if you...
I did the following: insert an object>Excel worksheet>link each custom prop. to a cell.
It does work but, if you change any of the custom properties values (part file) they do not update on your Excel table (drawing) in comparison with the general tables.
Does it update on your system...
We had our users group meeting last night and special guest John McEleney, Solidworks CEO, and talk about some issues with PDM stuff....he did promise to enhance a few things but did not say when....probably 08 release.
About Design Tables...I try to stay away from using Microsoft applications...
Using Microsoft Excel tables works fine, they way it should ...but, I hope one day we will be less dependent on Microsoft applications.
I was hoping to find a way to use the new tables included in the software.
I do appreciate for the tip anyway.
Thanks.

Solidworks 06/PDMworks 06...
I'm trying to do something ...maybe crazy...Solidworks 06 comes with a new table "General table" and I was wondering if there is a way to link custom properties of different configurations of a part to create a tabulation with part no-xxx, description/detail, rev, etc. Does it make sense?
I...
