    Rounding whole numbers

    All I can do is drop the decimals, not change the whole numbers.

    Rounding whole numbers

    I have a drawing where the primary dimension is in feet and inches but I need to have a duel dimension in millimeters rounded to the nearest 5. That is 5 or 0 in whole numbers not decimals; i.e. 32’-6” = 9906mm rounds to 9905mm.

    Equation Syntax Needed

    Is there a definitive list of equations (with explanations for non-programmers) somewhere? I know that you can use some VBA but not all.

    eDrawings does not work in PowerPoint

    You don’t insert the eDrawings file; you insert the controller via the developer tool (see above). Then you right click the frame and select “Properties”. Here you can point to the file name (FileName) and you also need to set the interface options (EnableFeatures). I removed my eDrawing from...

    Are Assembly Cuts and/or Configurations not available in MotionManager

    I’ve used a series of assembly cuts to illustrate the assembly sequence of a sub-assembly. I have a configuration for each step with the cuts being un-suppressed. I had to do it this way because several of the “parts” are really areas of one solid body. When I go to animate it the assembly...

    2009 SNL Manager

    I think I got it figured out, we have a network install and the SNL Manager is installed on the server in IT. That’s why I could not find it in my Add/Remove Programs list. I’ll do the SolidWorks upgrade on my machine and IT will upgrade the SNL Manager. BTW – We only have 2 seats and are...

    2009 SNL Manager

    Yea, it’s at step 2 where I get tripped up. Do I use “Add/Remove Programs” (Windows) to uninstall then “Check for Updates” to install the new version?
