Ah, sorry. I have tried it with a K-factor instead and I still get the problem, so I can only assume the problem was fixed between my service pack and yours.
I figured out a way of modelling it differently. I used thin extrude and then insert bends, but I'm still interested to know if this is exclusive to SW15 SP2.1 and if anyone else is getting it.
OK, this seems to be becoming a serious issue. Any time we do a sheet metal thin feature it has this problem. I've attached an example of something we make that is going to be a real pain to model up any other way I can think of. Is there any chance someone can do a re-build in a later service...
Yes, Thanks Scott, I've recommended to the user in question that he re-model it using edge flanges. Did you try just doing a rebuild in SP3? I think SolidWorks may have fixed the issue, although I can't see it in the fixed SPR list for SP3
We're still getting this issue. I've attached another example, drawn from scratch (by the same user coincidentally).
I've tried deleting the features (leaving the sketch) and creating a new base flange, but it still has one of the bends (BaseBend2) at zero bend radius.
Is anyone out there...
Well, that is strange. Ctrl Q is of course one of the first things I try in this situation, so I had tried that (and even just tried it again because I doubted myself). It is not removing the issue for me, however I am running sp2.1
There doesn't seem to be any mention of this fix in the SPR...
I've done it many times before, but perhaps not in SW2015.
If anyone out there is running an earlier version of SolidWorks and has a spare few minutes, could a kind person try sketching up the attached image and making it a thin sheet metal feature?
p.s. sorry I didn't make it clear the model...
Hi all,
I have a sheet metal part that is doing something a bit strange.
The part is a symmetrical thin feature, it is 2mm thick and has an inside bend radius of 2mm. However one of the bends on one side is generating at zero radius inside.
If I try changing the thin feature to the other side...
Well, this problem is still not solved. I've had net meetings with my VAR and left it with them, they came back with a fix, but that hasn't worked. They have offered to do another net meeting, but at this stage that's taking up more time than the problem and we're extremely busy as usual.
my VAR has come back with the suggestion to change the code for the SolidWorksMacroStartup to this:
-----
Imports SolidWorks.Interop.sldworks
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Text
Partial Class SolidWorksMacro
Private Sub SolidWorksMacro_Startup(ByVal sender As...
Just for future reference when people find this thread, we have a lot of drawings here that are crossed out even when they haven't lost the references. Just right click on the view and select "show". I know it's not your issue, but for something so simple, you wouldn't think I'd get asked it...
I'll give that a go. I'm running SW2011SP5 BTW.
I've passed the problem on to my VAR, but they're struggling with it. I find it strange that it's not a common issue, we've been coping with it for years.
Once the problem occurs, I can't even run the macro in debug mode (I assume that you mean hitting the play button from the edit macro command, bear with me, I don't code very often and forget how to do it in between)
If I start debugging, nothing happens. I have to hit stop.
Hi
We’ve been having a bit of an issue running macros. The problem dates back to the 1st computer we had running a 64bit OS, which is a long time ago in a Windows and SolidWorks version far far away.
When it first started, it would happen at some point during the day, normally after having...
If it's a large assembly, going through all the sub-components could be time consuming and the mates won't mirror over, but I would recommend doing it that way, it's cleaner.
Alternatively, a cheaty way to do it is to save the assembly as a part and mirror that if you just need the graphical...
Hello
We’ve been having some problems with our PDM here today. We are running Workgroup PDM with SolidWorks 2011.
This morning a couple of times SolidWorks would seem to hang for a few seconds when trying to do anything with the vault, then late morning one by one peoples machines completely...
