Hello,
Thank you for that. I have now managed to open the features to modify them by leaving Solidworks for half an hour! trying to open them but then it gets really slow. It had no happened with my other parts as they were not as complicated as this one.
I have Solidwork 2017
So shall I try...
Thanks
Oh dear, back to the drawing board then (no pun intended)
At the moment the only thing I can think of is the graphics card as I think it is not one of the ones apporved by Solidworks. Can it do this, just display the wait gif until it says 'not responding'?
Hello,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I think that, first, the best thing to do is to upload the file and see if it causes trouble to other people. Please try to open 2 o 3 features as if you were modifying them and see if you get a problem. If you do not have a problem, then it is something in...
Hello,
I have this problem with Solidworks crashing when trying to edit a feature, even
trying to change the height of an extrusion. I have received an assembly and parts
together in one folder. They are from a previous Solidworks version and I have
saved the parts for Solidworks to update...
Thanks, I see, so it looks like I have to modify the sub-assembly, to move it, in its own file then save it as a configuration, then insert one version of the sub-assembly for each position I want to illustrate in the main assembly.
It also looks like I cannot see the movement of the whole...
Hello ctpooher,
I mean move the whole soub-assembly like this:
Supposing you have made a sub-assembly with all the parts (components) of the trunk of a car. The rest of the car is in the main assembly. You want to see how the trunk opens so you want to rotate/move the whole trunk sub-assembly...
Hello,
I am relatively new to Solidworks.
I have created an assembly with a number of sub-assemblies. I am trying to move whole sub-assemblies to see them in different configurations, ideally saving the configurations, but is too difficult to do it. Sometimes they will not move, sometimes only...
Some of this translators look useful. The only difficulty I have now is that the sellers of CAD software are getting increasingly difficult to deal with. They want you buy their software without trying it or they don't bother to answer messages with questions about their software or they don't...
It looks like the posting I put yesterday did not go through. I was saying that yes, I am trying to prop up my old system I-DEAS NX while I replace it with something like Solidworks. I only want to spend a few hundred pounds (or dollars). My system can accept IGES and VDA but only if IGES is...
Hello,
My CAD package is getting a bit old and clunky, it cannot import STEP files.
Can anyone recommend one of those translator programmes that can translate between formats like STL, IGES, STEP and maybe solidworks PRT models.
It would also be an advantage if it could do things like...
Thanks a lot, this works. I did not know these commands. I think that the solution is to use the first command to change the tolerance of the offending part to whatever tolerance the model file has, which can be checked with the second command.
I have been using I-DEAS for many years and recently I started getting error messages that I had not had before:
1- When checking in a part (that was not imported from another system but created in the model file) in the library I get a warning message: "this part was not created with the...
Thanks for the feedback. I have also noticed that even that Edrawings software has trouble importing the enormous files that some people make. I have tried to inmport files in STEP and IGES of 50Mb in size and upwards and the software just stops responding as it tries to import them.
