    Design Table Issue

    Two quick questions. 1) When I open the design table in a new view it looks good for a few seconds while it's loading but then the columns automatically shrink and I have to constantly select all cells to resize them. Is there a way to make sure the column widths stay and not automatically...

    Project/Part Time Tracking

    Hello, Just curious if anyone knows of any tools within SolidWorks or PDM that can be used for tracking Part, Drawing, or Entire Project creation time? We're trying to justify the hiring of more designers but our generic time information really isn't flying with upper management. They're...

    Adding a Coupling Perpendicular to Tube/Pipe Route (Using SW Routings)

    Hello, I usually don't have to deal with this much but I'm looking for some helpful tips for adding a coupling to my route so it automatically comes in perpendicular to my tube/pipe run and also cuts the required size pilot hole. I'm assuming I'll need to create a file but really not sure the...

    Modifying Sketch Dimension

    Trying to help out a former coworker that is now using 2012 SW. I'm not sure the proper term for it but in 2016 SW you can click on your sketch dimension and add/subtract length to the current value to have SW to the math for you vs. using a calculator to figure out the adjusted dimension...

    EPDM Automatic State Change on Check-in?

    So we have standard configurable components. Usually the states are at Production but when adding a config we change the state to Adding New Configuration. After adding the config and check-in the file a lot of our designers forget to advance the states back to Production. Is there an...

    Macro Help???

    I found a macro sometime last year that hides/blanks out Planes, Sketches, etc in the model tree (Correct Location) instead of turning those features off in the View Menu. This macro works great but after awhile, I noticed the hiding the Origin in the model tree wasn't a good idea/option. I...

    Pattern Question

    Basically what I’m trying to do is link my cutout pattern to match up with the size of my part. So no matter what size the part is, the square cutouts will be filled in automatically throughout the entire part. The square cut needs to be 2” X 2” with a .25” web in-between. As far as the web...

    Thanks Scott, I was actually going to post something on this yesterday as well! :) Would you are anyone else know how to make a macro for this? I know it seems simple to click a few buttons to do this but I would rather save time and click once. I would assume if someone’s able to create...

    Computer Spec's?

    I design large Radiators, files sizes ranging from 10 - 50 MB. Budget is open from now but I’m figure we’ll need to keep the computer under $4,000 or 5,000 to be a little bit more realistic…

    Control Q - Save Macro?

    I don’t know much about macro’s or even know where to begin starting one. But from what I can tell by running this macro, when it hides the views and shows them again it somehow re-links the drawing views to the model again. There’s nothing that says forcerebuild in the code but whatever it’s...

    Control Q - Save Macro?

    That's where I figured it should go but when I put it there I was getting an error once I ran it... All I did was moved the MsgBox down a line and copied and pasted the above code... Is there an issue with that, does it have to be done a different way?

    Control Q - Save Macro?

    Where would I need to put that code?

    Control Q - Save Macro?
