    Weldment Assembly Feature

    By default, your weldment will have a "as welded" and "as machined" configuration. Suppress your holes in the "as welded" configuration, leave them unsupressed in the "as machined" configuration. The cut-list should be using the "as welded" configuration by default. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP5.0...

    SW Graphics on a budget

    I agree with Jeff. IMO, within the past few years, the ATI/AMD drivers have become much more stable. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP5.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    runout used on rotating parts only?

    I think you pretty much answered your own question. Runout is often used as an alternative to concentricity "because it's the easiest way to meet functional requirement." Joe SW Premium 2012 SP3.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    Sharing information with assemblers

    Try taking the SolidWorks assembly and saving it as a eDrawings assembly (*.easm). I've found eDrawings to be less cumbersome that way. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP3.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    Grouping Dimension/Text

    Any time I have that same problem, it is usually caused by what Chris said. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    Set Z-Axis to vertical?

    Kirby, You can also rename the 3 default planes, so they correspond with the new orientation of the views. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    Crystal Surface

    Perhaps you could save it as a .stl file, then import it back into SolidWorks. The .stl file will be facetted instead of a smooth surface. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    What was the last SW release which did not poll the license server?

    I know that 2006 did not, and 2008 did. I didn't use 2007, but I believe that it was the release that made this switch. I believe that was also the same release where they switched from 3rd party licensing software to the FlexLM. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB...

    Countersink far side?

    The calloutformat.txt file (and a hole table) won't differentiate between a nearside and farside hole. You're "A" group of holes are actually nearside clearance holes in the model, but with a added farside countersink. "C" & "D" are both CSK holes place on the farside of the model. Two...

    Foreshortened (clipped) linear dimensions

    You will need to dimension the .3012 distance before you foreshorten the radius dimension. A broken view isn't necesary. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro...

    Foreshortened (clipped) linear dimensions

    If you dimension from the center-line to the (foreshortened) center-mark, it should give the results you expect. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    Flatness between two parts

    Jim, Is it poor engineering, or is it poor fabrication? ...just a thought. Joe SW Premium 2012 SP1.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    New to Solidworks... Add folder bug

    If you are selecting multiple components from the assembly tree and right clicking, you should have the option to "Add to New Folder" or "Creat New Folder." I see the same error message when right clicking on the top assembly in the tree, but it works fine for me when clicking on a part or...

    Part/assy config's

    I didnt know you could do that until I just now tried. "$STATE@Distance_@Sketch_" seems to do what you want. U (unsupressed) = driving, and S (supressed) = driven. Joe SW Premium 2011 SP5.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800

    Problem with circular pattern

    The issue seems to be caused by the fact that Extrude10 temporarily creates a separate body. You can't pattern both features and bodies at the same time, but you can pattern them separately. Here's what you can do: roll back the model and insert a circular patter after Extrude12. (The only...

    Solidworks - Add degree symbol into Sketch Text on a Sketch in a Model

    The alt codes work for me. Alt 0176 for degree, and alt 0216 for diameter both work. Joe SW Premium 2011 SP5.0 Dell T3500 Xeon W3505 2.4Ghz 6.0GB Win7 Pro x64 ATI FirePro V5800http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6ab06f79-bbcf-443c-9b29-25913c0da21f&file=Sketch_Text.png
