I have seen the MathInWorks, but what I describe above doesn't happen from within SW it happens from witin MathCad and is a free add-on from MathCad. DG

If you have MathCad V12.1 and solidworks 2005, You can download several files from the mathcad website that allows you to insert into a MathCad document a Solidworks object. What you get is a window inserted into the document where you can see your model. There example is pretty simple but in...

By the way the reverse process is also possible with a commercial solidworks plugin See http://www.solidviz.com/mathinworks.htm This allow for the Mathcad functionality from within Solidworks. However, I believe MathCad 12.1 is still required. DG

Thats exactly what it does, or is intended to do. The solidworks model sits in the MathCad sheet and will update as you change variables associated with the model. You can double click on the model in the MathCad worksheet and editable solidworks opens in the worksheet. (Think of editing an...

Solidworks and MathCAD Has anyone tried this integration yet. (Need SW2005 and MathCad 12.1) I have started to play with some of the examples that came with the download, and the integration seems to work nicely. I can see a lot of potential for this. I am having trouble getting it to work...

Sorry bout that SW 2004 SP1

I make a lot of flanges with bolt circles of varying sizes, My preferred way to do this is to use the hole wizard in which I use a sketch with a construction circle and two construction lines which are constrined from the circle's origin to the construction circle. The first construction line...

Along the same lines of my last post. Who loves/hates using derived parts. Caveats, pitfalls, etc. Thanks again, DGIY

Just wanted the expert's opinions on external references. Is there any of you who swear by them or swear at them. Would some of you be lost without them or some wish they had been left out of SW?? I have never made much use of them but was wondering if maybe I could increase my productivity by...

I have a bellows in one of my assemblies I can change the overall length in the bellows part file and the bellows is constrained to open and close according to the relations I set when I made it. Is there a way to use the sketch dimension in the part to drive the length of the bellows in the...

Excuse my ignorance but I though I had once used a option in Solidworks that allowed you to view the creation of the part feature by feature. Can someone refresh my memory if this is the case. I know I can rollback the drawing to the beginning and step through each feature but I though what I...

When I array a hole that is diplaying a cosmetic thread, the cosmetic thread doesn't show on the arrayed holes. Anyone know how to tell SW to copy the thread on the array command? SW 2004 SP1 Thanks, DG

RMB on the menu idems still works, at least for me. I don't see the underline first Character either but the RMB [H] still hides stuff etc... DG

No I overlooked the check box, but I tried it and like your assembly it now works fine for me. Thanks again, DG

I must have read your mind. I was trying sectioning it while you must have been responding. I didn't seem to work. When I saved the assembly as a parasolid and brought that back in it worked fine. It even recreates a part file for each part although the part is a solid and does not retain...

Scott, Can you still use section views?? Thanks, DG

I want to e-mail an assembly to my collegue, but I don't want to e-mail all the sub components. Is there a way I can make the subcomponents local to the assembly so I just can send him the assembled model? He needs to incorporate the assembly into a larger model but doesn't need to dig into...

Does anyone have any suggestions for creating a plane tangent to a cylinder. Is any way better than the other? Should I avoid doing it a certain way? Thanks, DG

Will it save toolbars and toolbar positions if I can get it to work? Thanks, DG

Tick I was running the wizard on the system where I have my config I want to save it. When I try to save I can't select a user name, even if I have SW running. Seems like it doesn't work for me. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. I just wanted a few things copied. One big one is my...
