I run SW2005 and XP home with no issues.

i was sure they were locked down before. and Ctrl-Q worked a treat! Thanks! (i had tried the rebuild before... didn't know about force rebuild.)

before i added fastners, i had all the parts in the assembly fully defined. ie. you couldn't move any of the parts and the property manager had no "(-)" next to the parts. after i use smart fastners to "populate all" the holes in an assembly all the parts have a "(-)" next to them to tell me i...

well i seem to have found a work around. but if anyone can tell me a better meathod in creating the holes or editing the fastners so i can add them all that would be great. first i needed to enter the holes on each plate in the assembly (thanks for reminding me about this ctopher) as i am...

thanks but had tried that, no such luck even though in theory it should make sence. i have been using basic parts to replicate it and with the basic parts it looks like adding the holes once the assembly is complete is the way to go. not on the parts first. but when i tried this on the proper...

i have tried all of the above. the holes are same type. in the original the 2 endplates were unique i.e. completeley separate parts. but even in my basic example i used to test the problem i just used 2 of the same discs and still same problem. i also tried putting the holes in contect of the...

i have tried it a different way. still no luck. take 2 discs say 100mm apart say 2mm thick each. a countersunk hole in each disc. mate the holes as concentric. now use fastneres to populate all. it only does 1.

Done that. i realised that. as i wrote, it will ONLY put a fastner at ONE end... i.e. it works... just not the way i want. if i remove any plate it is happy to populate the other plate with fastners... so i know both holes work. just with a plate at each end it ignores one of them! i have...

i have 3 parts. 1 is a long tube with a hole in the middle. then i have 2 endplates, 1 at each end of the tube. i have put a hole in each endplate. and i want to put a screw to join each endplate to the tube. when i go to populate smart fastner it only does 1 end. when i try to add the other...

Yeah i think you are right; if I have to "rollback" it will get messy... i gotta uninstall :( thank-you all for your input. David.

ok well its not a trial (AFAIK) i *thought* it was just SW we purchased so i installed that. now i wanted to use edrawing pro. and was told i should have installed sw with office; as that is what they bought... so your saying i HAVE to uninstall and re-install? and whats this about...

really? well when i installed i only installed just SW. then i was told we had sw office. so i tried both it and professional but when i went to install it, it says i only have a sw office licence (not professional) please expain? anyway all i really need to know just now is: should i install...

Hi, I installed SW 2005 a few weeks ago. I have updated to SP1.1 I just realised we actually own SW2005 with office and want to install that also. -Can I just go and install over the top of the previous install to get office working? -Or do I need to uninstall and re-install the complete...
