    Width Mates

    Can anyone tell me how to quickly reverse the orientation of a width mate please. I seem to remember once doing this accidentally by double clicking "something", but for the life of me I cannot find a way to repeat it now. Thanks Phil

    Keytech Solutions

    Hi Valshnar I have just finished both the user and the administrator training for the Keytech software, it certainly is very powerfull indeed. Our company will be 'going live' with the system in three weeks time, so I will report back after we have seen how it performs. Phil

    Keytech Solutions

    Does the lack of response mean that no one has actually heard of Keytech ?? I understand it is popular in Europe.

    Keytech Solutions

    Our company is looking at the possibility of buying the Keytech Solutions software as a replacement for PDM Works. Keytech are Solidworks Gold Partners and it does look to be a nice piece of software. The idea is so that it will integrate with our BAAN ERP system as well, and save us some time...

    Toolbox Part - Conversion Back To Standard Part

    Cheers Guys I would never have found that. It worked a treat once I realised that I had to log in as admin and delete the original assembly from the vault. Prior to that I got Vault Error 102 on check in Thanks Phil

    Toolbox Part - Conversion Back To Standard Part

    I have a model of a cap head socket screw (with configurations) which is used directly from our toolbox part library. When an assembly containing it is checked in, this item shows up as a toolbox reference only which is what I want it to do. However I needed to use a cap head screw with a...

    Drawings - How to change from Part to Assembly

    I have come up against an issue that I cannot find a solution for. If I create a solid part which is a flat plate with some holes in it and then create a drawing from it, all is well. Now someone comes along and asks for some hexagon nuts to be welded over the holes, no problem I make assembly...

    Feature Manager Problem

    The one that I notice dissapearing the most is the 'Display/Selection' - 'Dynamic Highlight From Graphics View' took a while to figure out what had happened, it seems pretty random as well. Phil

    Hardware Spec For SW-2007

    Our company will be updating from SW-2006 to 2007 when it is released later this year, I have tried to make our IT department aware of the fact that our three year old P3 computers are probably not really up to the job anymore. They said if I can get a specification together of what I need then...

    PDM Works Photo Preview

    Does anyone know if the next release (2007), of PDM will have any way of previewing JPG images which are in the vault. We are trying to store all our project specific data in one place, including SW files, Word documents, PDF files and photos etc. Not much good if you cannot preview the photo's...

    Open View Only through PDM/Works

    I think what you are wanting is the difference between taking ownership or not. If you are not the owner the document opens read only, if you take ownership, you can modify and save it again. I am pretty new at this myself, but the above seems to work for me. Phil
