    Advanced Linking and Math

    Picture a cube with rectangle flanges on top and bottom. I have drawn this cube and the insulation that covers it. I have 4 differnt sizes of insualtion (drawn as spearate parts) and two of each of them to cover this cube for a total of 8 peices of insualtion. The Length and width of each...

    Copying views in a drawing

    I was able to RMC on the drawing and click >Drawing Views > Model and bring in a new view, scaled correctly with the right display state and the bubbles follow the BOM. I will try your way as well. Thanks! woohoo, this is a breakthru for me! J.D.

    Copying views in a drawing

    I have an assembly and I have made three different displays states. The first display state shows the assembly in it's entirety. The next two, show two different sub assemblies with everything else hidden. I have a drawing detailing the entire assembly with the standard three views...

    BOM Bubbles not consitent within one drawing

    Bradley - Thanks, but no, I need one BOM for the drawing. Afterall they are the same part. I have the Display states done, but am having trouble creating the views I need because they are already on the drawing. I will start a new thread. Thanks! J.D.

    BOM Bubbles not consitent within one drawing

    Pete, I am new to SW, can you explain Display states? How would I apply it to my situation? Thanks! J.D.

    BOM Bubbles not consitent within one drawing

    I was wondering about that. That's the step I was going to take next. We'll see if I get that far today?? Thanks! J.D.

    Adding a prefix to BOM Item #'s

    I found a way to do this. Not alone mind you, I had some expert help. Select the Column with the item numbers. Then select Column properties in the Property Manager. IN the Column Properties select equation and enter the following. ="X"'ITEM NO.' Where X = the value you want to put in there...

    Adding a prefix to BOM Item #'s

    Bradley - The other drafter is a contract drafter, so he is not in house, or even in-state for that matter. So I am the only drafter employeed directly within the company and am having to start from scratch, including learning SW! J.D.

    Adding a prefix to BOM Item #'s

    hmm, well I probably have 20 parts in each sub assembly and I certainly don't want them to overlap. I think the current drafter (who is much more versed than I am) uses a Part No. for his BOM # as he does have gaps from time to time. I was just trying to avoid that. It wouldn't bother me if...

    Adding a prefix to BOM Item #'s

    I have a question or two, but I will reserve one for each new thread. Is there any way to put a prefix on the BOM entry of each part, but still have them number incrementally? ie. If I wanted all my parts on my -30 drawing to have a prefix of "30-x", Where 30 would = the drawing number and x =...

    SW Newbie Needs BOM help

    No sweat, I will start new threads. I am a member of many forums and it seems each one likes to do it differently. Thanks for the links. Oh and J.D. < J.C., but I try hard! ;-) J.D.

    Newbie needs advice

    I feel for you. I am nearly in the same boat. I did take the level 1 class and it was very helpful to get me started, however, my downfall was not being able to impliment what I learned for some months later. I hope you find what you're looking for, but my advice is to take that class. J.D.

    SW Newbie Needs BOM help

    Yes! You guys are DA BOMB! I really feel like I am getting somewhere now! A lot of my parts are linked together so they'll adjust as necessary!! A few more questions...but first a lead in. I have 3 sub-assemblies and one final assembly. I need to bring two sub-assemblies together, but I...

    SW Newbie Needs BOM help

    Sounds like a nice concept, but do you know where I can find out information on how to do that? I will search help for custom variable and see what that does. Thanks! J.D.

    SW Newbie Needs BOM help

    I am making progress - thanks for the help! Instead of doing a weldment, I just made 4 channels of the lengths I needed and copied as necessary. My next question is this, say I have a MC6x16.3 Structural Channel that is extruded to 48" long. the channel was created using a profile and a...

    SW Newbie Needs BOM help

    Everything is to be welded together with the exception of the outer lagging, but it sounds like I better just start over with individual parts because of the way the BOM will be setup. Yes, I have gone thru the Weldment tutorial and that's the only reason I got as far as I did on the frame...

    SW Newbie Needs BOM help

    OK, with some help from others and here, I think I have a semi-clear path I need to go in order to get what I want. My mistake was putting too many 3D bodies into one Part file. So once I re-draw most of the items into thier own part file, can I still use a weldment for the basic frame (cube)...
