I have a cylinder that has shallow slots cut in the OD parallel to the centerline. I now need to pattern the slots around the centerline of the cylinder. I cannot use circular pattern because I need the angle between each slot to vary. There are 10 slots so I need 36 deg between 1st and 2nd...
We are looking to upgrade computers and possibly going with 64 bit OS. Is SW2009 SP2.1 running well on 64 bit for everyone so far? Also, does anyone know if AutoCAD 2000i will run on 64 bit (legacy stuff only)? Will Microsoft Office 2003 also run on 64 bit? We are looking at the 64 bit so we...
In regards to this faq, I just tried putting the dimension name into custom properties on the configuration side and got that to work. I entered "D1@CirPattern1@972245-4.sldprt" under the value column, D1 being the name of the instance dimension, put a name on it under the property column then...
In SW Explorer 2006 and earlier I used the Property Search command alot. Maybe its me but I'm missing that command in SW2007. I have not installed the Microsoft Desktop Search yet, is that why I don't get the Property Search?

I have an assembly that uses 2 components. The one component is a read only file from a library. It is a standard product that we then assemble to a custom product. The components will be welded together but I need tapped holes that will be into both parts to hold other pieces. I'm trying to...

I need to use a 1/4" British Standard Pipe tap. In SW2006 is the the BSI, DIN or ISO, or are all of those the same? I've never had to deal with the metric pipe taps before and so far can't find alot of information. Thanks,

Wanted to know if there is a setting in SW2006 SP1 to keep the numbers of the dimensions parallel to the screen when editing a sketch. In SW2005 and prior no matter how the sketch was rotated the numbers in the dimension stayed "parallel" to the screen. In SW2006 the numbers stay parallel to...
Anyone noticed that SW2006 creates about 50 to 60 bitmap files in the temp folder every time it is started? I clear the temp folder on a regular basis and every time I test SW2006 the bitmaps are genereated again. The bitmaps are for icons, but I have never had this before. Just curious if...
Is it possible in SW2006 to control which configuration of a Library feature is used with a design table? I have several different configurations in a model and I would like to have a design table call a different configuration of a library feature that is used.

When I change the configuration that is referenced in a drawing only that specific view changes, I thought that any dependent views would change also, but they don't. It makes it an easy way to end up with one configuration in the top view and a different configuration in an auxillary view. Is...
Running SW2005 SP3 I'm having a problem with adding balloons in a drawing. I have a subassembly that some of the items show an "*" instead of the item number. Some of the parts of the subassembly balloon just fine but others show the asterisk. If I put the subassembly into its own drawing all...
I was on the SW website today downloading the driver for my nVidia Quadro FX 500 card and noticed the "3d Stereo Effects" icon. What does this do and how do you use it?

Is it possible to add a break to an auxiliary view? I have an auxiliary view that is rather long and I would like to break it, same as a horizontal or vertical, but I don't see any way to do it.

Is it possible to adjust the velocity more than the simple sliders provided in the feature tree? I have applied both a linear and a rotary motor and I would like to speed up the rotary more than available, and slow down the linear more than the slider allows, is this possible? I'm trying to...
When I make a drawing in SW2004 sp3 the print preview is different from what I see on the screen. For instance, if I have a note that is close to the border, on the screen it appears correct but in the print preview or when I print the note may go over the border. I have tried different fonts...
I'm wanting to create some named views in an assembly to be used in a drawing. After I pick a surface and view normal to that surface can I then pick an edge and specify a rotation, say 5 degrees, to get the view I want? Is it possible in SW2004 to get a view by picking an edge and rotating...
I need some help with a pattern in a part file. I'm using SW2004 SP3. I have a cut sweep modeled on the end of a round part. I now need to pattern that cut sweep around the center of the part every 5 degrees, at the same time each rotation has to incrementally move in the Z axis (along the...
I have noticed that if you move the section view text (the SECTION A-A that SW generates under the view) it is no longer associated with the view. Is there anyway to reattach it to the section view? Running SW2004 SP3.1
