We have just installed SW2008 SP5.0. We have a seperate location we reference for all SW file locations and the weldment profiles folder is set up the same as it is in the SW Data folder: Weldment Profiles--> ansi inch or iso--> subfolders in ea of those w/ c channel, etc--> then the profiles...

I need to make the Item No. column in my BOM show letters instead of numbers for a parts list callout on a dimensional drawing. Is this possible?

We've just gone thru the upgrade process with 2007 and finally realized that PDM had been integrated with SolidWorks Explorer now. Now we are upgrading to the latest sp4.0. My question is (since I saw no sp for PDM except enterprise) is do we no longer have to upgrade the PDMWorks server? I...

sorry, I meant that the tee will bubble as #24, whatever the item number is when that part is used in the top-level.

Hello, I have SW 2006 SP4.0. I have a top-level assy that has in it the following: 1. A sub-assy consisting of parts A, B, C, & D. The option is checked for children not to show in the BOM when this assy is used as a sub-assy. Therefore, it shows as 1 part number in my bom. 2. The top-level...

I have SW 2006 SP4.0 I have annotations showing in my part (driven & ref dimensions in sketches marked for the drawing). The options for both the part and assy specify to show annotations. But the annotations for my part are not showing in my assembly. SW help says "Display annotations /...

Heard back from support. This is a know issue from several users. SW has not gotten to the bottom of the issue, but below is the fix from my VAR: The reason this is happening is still unknown but the you are not the only person that this has happened to. As we did on the phone, to correct...

Goodmorning, Noone is in the office yet at Trimech or SW, and I need to resolve this as soon as i can.... i've installed SW 2006 office proffesional w/ routing add-in. Then installed (other) pdm (vault & standalone). Then, i downloaded the SW sp 4.0 for office proffessional. When i...

Has anyone assigned a higher priority for SW in their task manager? Mine is normal by default, but I was wondering if it would help to set it higher? Task Manager help says changing priorities may adversely affect performance of other processes. Is anyone familiar w/ this? Thanks

Thanks, I've done just that. Hopefully we will see this soon.

I was trying to link the note to sub-assy's and parts in the drawing view....Current document would be the drawing properties and componenet to which assy is attached would be the indivual parts of the ball-valve sub-assy not the whole thing. Maybe I could add the note in the model and bring...

I'm attaching a note to a small sub-assy (a ball valve w/ an actuator on it). We call the sub-assy out as one part (3" Ball Valve w/ Electric Actuator). But when I link the note to the sub-assy's description, the only option that seems to pertain to me is to link property to "component to...

Yes, I've seen everything you mentioned in the latter part of your message, thanks for replying! Also, I find that parts will show as under-defined in an assembly, even though they are clearly fixed in place w/ 3+ mates. When I hit ctrl-q (much like fixing errors in FMT), the same parts...

Good Morning. I am running SW SP1.0 and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing mate instability in any of the 2006 service packs. By instablility I mean getting a message stating that you cannot create a (parrallel, perpendicular, distance, concentric, coincident, angular, or other) mate...

Thank you CorBlimey, just before I read your post one of my colleagues got off the phone w/ support, who reminded us that you have to re-apply a hotfix every time you update the PDM software. Hopefully this will correct the problem.
