OK, I just set up a 64bit windows xp machine and cannot get PDM to connect correctly at all. I already modified my hosts file, installed PDM like I do on every other machine. Since it's 64bit, I know it needed to go into the Programs x86 folder. I get all the way thru like normal however when I...
Hopefully I word this well enough to be understood. I need to illustrate a serial number etched into the side of a cylindrical part. I've done this using text and cut extrude on flat surfaces, but cannot understand how to do it on a cylindrical part that has a taper to it (not steep enough to be...
I am having the same problems, too. Our MasterCAM guys are having constant crashes with a PDM error popup even when they are not logged into PDM. For the solidworks users, we've had lots of edrawing viewer crashes and often forced to reboot.
We have a server dedicated to PDM where our drawings...
been implementing since March, learning curve for sure but the biggest issue i have is resistance from autocad folks and those who feel THEIR system is 'fine'.
Thing is, many jobs here are revolving door and I got tired of sifting thru archives trying to make sense of it all. And over 10yrs of...
IT installed it for me because I didn't want to screw it up. I wasn't here when he installed it.
I've opened across the network from PDM and I've worked on files locally, I constantly have the same problem no matter which scenario. For months everything was fine so I'm doubting it's me in this...
ok so I went to solidworks got the approved driver for my video card and installed it... doesn't seem to give any improvement in speed... so should this opengl box be checked now or unchecked since I have the correct approved driver installed...
I'm having the same issue and my workstation fits all the parameters from the solidworks website recommendations for dell...
so what does switching it to NONE do? I checked the box, hopefully that gives me some stability, but I don't get why I'd shut off acceleration? Is that going to make my...
I'm improvising with projected sketches and some texturing but already the time it takes to rebuild is atrocious.
I hope there's no more of these projects, honestly.
Thanks again all for your help and work around suggestions. With more time (it's all due Monday morning)CorBlimey you're idea...
Thanks all, I appreciate everyone's quick response to this migraine-inducing 'crisis'.
What you've all told me is what I tried to explain, but people that don't work with solidworks don't want to hear 'excuses'. This is what they want and with the tools I have.
GLED, I did the edrawing mockup...
I know you can insert an image to use as the background, but what I need to do is insert an image onto the face of two part models. (one is a flat surface, one is curved) My tools are paint shop pro and solidworks and the problem is they want an edrawing that rotates and shows the provided logo...
I just had to do this and present it to our investment group in a way they would understand that NOT having a data management system will continue to cost us... to add to it, we currently store all our stuff ONLY locally (each designer saves their stuff on their own machines) and we don't have a...
The text toolbar doesn't come up there, either. That's where I noticed the problem. But it also doesn't pop up anymore when I'm editing text in the drawing and now I'm having an issue where I need to add tolerances and cannot without the xx/xxx option that the text toolbar gave me. Nothing has...
