Hi,
As soon as I add the URL to my note and entire note becomes the URL, no matter where you click on or hover over the note the URL is shown.
HTTP://INFO.NSF.ORG/CERTIF/IED/FOOD
I need to have it be part of the note but to just be a note not an active URL how do I do this.

Hello,
For years and many many products we would call out the Pemnut used in a sheet metal part as a flagged note like flag note 8 4X Pem M4X install farside. Then in the drawing view we would point to the hardware location with a flag.
A new person now say's industrial standard is to make an...

Once you click the green check mark to get out of the dimension mode the dimensions can be placed.

Once in awhile I will get the error message in the subject line to pop up while in a drawing. The last time I had only two views nothing fancy so I click ok and nothing bad happened.
Can someone share why this error message pops up once in awhile.
Thank you,
Jeff
Right off the bat in Pro-Engineer when creating dimensions one option you can select is "Interesction" you pick the two intersecting lines and you have a dimension. FOR SOME REASON in Solidworks this is not available or is done by some hidden process.
My drawing as a 45 degree bend in it and I...
I created datum targets in a drawing and added dimensions and I understand that. I want to know how to modify the dimensions locating the datum targets to move them etc dim 25 needs to be 20.
Thank you,

I have made a section view of a shaft in my drawing and now I want to have this view go back to the original
un-sectioned view.
How do I do this?
Thank you,

Hi,
I have multiple views in my drawing and the dimensions shown are the model dimensions not ones I created.
The front view has a counter bored hole and I have added the counter bore symbol to the dimension.
I have another view, a section view and the dimension for the depth is shown.

I have been asked to make some drawing formats.
Here is where I need you opinion. Our last machine we made took 8 years from design to manufacture and all of the parts were in metric and we used metric drawing formats A0, A1, A2 and A3 and everything worked fine.
Now the new project the parts...
I have a rectangle sheet metal part with two flanges one on each side bent the same direction and each flange has a hole of the same size at the same locations.

In Pro-Engineer you can have drawing views already in place with dimensions then go into the model and cut a section and then go back to the drawing view right mouse click on it and click properties, section and turn it into a section view and then add the arrows to the parent view you done...
As my subject line states, how do I do this. I have read and read and read and no where do I find how to create my very own 2D symbols to use in Solidworks and save them to be used later as needed.
These will be 2D symbols to be used in Mech drawings nothing to do with Elec things. I do not...
I have made a section view and the section line extends way out past of the edge of the part on both sides system created and the only thing I can move are the arrows either up or down. I can not find anyway to move the section line left or right. I want to be able to move the section line with...
Hello,
I want to thank everyone with sharing all you knowledge with me. Here is my next question from the rookie.
I have a assembly drawing, a block with three dowel pins two of one size and one is a different size. The Dowel pins belong to a table with many different sizes or is this called a...
I want to have one drawing format that will have a specific name that will always be used as a quality plan as the last sheet in our drawings. I need to know how I can add a table to this format save it off into the database so anyone can add this sheet to a drawing and be able to edit the...
Does Solidworks have a symbol or something so I can add the plus minus sign to a note so the plus is over the top of the minus instead of me doing the +/- routine for each occurrence.
In Pro-e they have a text symbol to do this.
Thank you,
Jeff
Jeff is back,
In Pro-Engineer to add the notes to a drawing from a location outside the cad tool you do, Insert, note by file, make note click in the screen and a window opens and you browse to where ever the file is click on it and it's added to the drawing.
In NX I go to annotation, note...
