    Custom iProperties in Drawing BOM

    I created an iAssembly with multiple configurations. The assembly contains two iParts that vary in length. I'm trying to display the BOM to show all the configurations. It works beautifully until we get to the Custom Tab iProperties that also need to be displayed in the BOM for the individual...

    R11 - Numerous Errors - Please Help

    We're using Inventor R11 SP.4 A co-worker accidentally upgraded to 2009. He uninstalled and re-installed R11. After installing R11, he no longer had access to the Content Center Files. We couldn't figure out why so we ran a repair on Inventor. This opened up more issues and still did not...

    Representations in a Part?

    Is it possible to have view representations in a part? Or any tricks to what I'm trying to achieve? I have parts in which the profile and some hole locations can be rough cut (plasma, waterjet), but then I'd then like to unsupress the machining features for a secondary machining step, like...

    Link Parameter to iProperty

    I'm using Inventor 11. Is there a way to link model parameters to a Custom iProperty field? I was hoping to link material overall dimensions to a material description field. For example: Tube; 1/4"wall X 2 X 4 x 20" long I would like all the numeric values link to the parameters. Thanks

    What is sldbgproc?

    SolidWorks was running very slow, so I checked Task Manager to see what was running in the background to cause such lag. Saw sldbgproc.exe running with 1/4 of my memory usage and 94% of my CPU. Searching it points directly to SolidWorks installation folder. Anyone know what it is or what it...

    Toolbox part "saved as" custom part :(

    My company doesn't use toolbox parts. An outsource company that did some work for us decided to save toolbox parts as purchased manufactured parts. When I checked them into PDMWorks, I had all the typical toolbox part "noise". Is there a way for me to make this part a regular part and not a...

    PDMWorkgroup vs. Enterprise

    We currently use Workgroup but I would like our group to moved to Enterprise for the ECN/ECO process and the audit trail (needed to stay ISO & FDA compliant). Enterprise seems to accomplish our needs pretty much out-of-the-box, and I feel I have to massage and finesse Workgroups to almost meet...

    I've never use one of these pumps and would like help going the right direction. The 2-part epoxy needs to be dispensed at a 4:1 ratio. If the pump were to run at all times, it would need total dispense rate of one GPH with ability to increase or decrease rate as needed. Please let me know if...

    IF THEN statements SW2005 BOM Table

    I'm not able to get the IF THEN statement to work properly in 2005 BOM. Our UOM is driven by another system that assigns a numeric value as shown. IF UOM=1 THEN "ASSY" IF UOM=2 THEN "EA" IF UOM=3 THEN "IN" IF UOM=4 THEN "mm" We set up a formula for the Excel based BOM that works great...

    Visio Files in PDMWorks

    I have put a number of our Visio files in PDMWorks. I am unable to open some of the Visio files from PDMWorks. Visio will run and appear in the Task Manager Processes, but the file will not open. I had not seen this when testing this out. Has anyone else seen this? Will PDMWorks corrupt...

    Is there a way to link Visio properties to PDMWorks? I'd like PDMWorks to drive the revion on the Visio drawing. Linking other properties would be a bonus. TIA

    I get this message when trying to dissove a subassembly: "A selected component could not be moved. An example of a component that cannot be moved is an instance of a component pattern." I've seen things similar to this if there were component patterns in the assembly, but this error...

    Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3.0 ) and Pro/E 2000i2 with latest patch. We have recently discovered that some of our conversions from Pro/E via .step are not coming into SW accurately.
