I'd like to access my Vault at home when I travel. I don't want to use vpn, I just want to open ports on my router and directly addres my Vault competer's ip address and use the native Vault client to login. I've seen it done, but don't know what the IT/router setup looked like. I don't...

Dual dimensions, feet-inch on top, mm on bottom, no show units. Dimensions over 12 inches display correctly as 1'-5.000". Dimensions under 12 inches display 5.000. No (") symbol. Can't have the text (in) and/or (mm) displayed due to manufacturing requirements. Soooooo close, just need (")...

Without resorting to Lifecycles I'd like to have two custom properties populated as follows: "Author" would lock to the logged in user that created the document originally and never change. Maybe "created by" would be more descriptive. The second would be set at check in, equating to the...

Any way to use polar coordinates in lieu of Cartesian?

Does anyone know how to dimension the length of a 3D spline? I can measure it, but ultimately I'd like to populate a custom property with it. thanks.

When I run a macro on 08' sp0.0 I get a "runtime error 13 type mismatch" message. That I don't get when running the same macro on 08' sp3.0. What are the chances that it is only a service pack issue?

I received a large Inventor assembly file with parts created using pack-n-go. I don't have Inventor but I do have Inventor View. When I try to open the top level assembly I get an error that some parts can not be found and that "they should be added to the project search path" but the parts...

I can't seem to get solidworks to maintain the cell format of "wrap text" when inserting the excel BOM into a drawing. Is there a tools/option check box I'm missing? Thanks.

Is there any way to get the hole callout command in drawings to specify "on xx dia bolt circle" when the hole is part of a circular pattern? Thanks.

Is it possible to import a vector file, like corel might produce, into solidworks as a sketch?

Is there any way to get a list of the currently out of the box short cut keys in 2006? Thanks

Has anyone been able to get this to work?

I've been searching the FAQ pages and have found what appear to be some very useful Macros. However I can't seem to download anything. When I select the "macro" hyper-link I get an add. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Folks.

I'm trying to convert a dwg title block to a solidworks sheet format. In the new template I either end up with the format as a drawing view or it's not visible at all. There seems to be a number a ways to do this. Anyone find a simple solution? Thanks All.

Is there any way, short of a drawing/BOM, to tell how many instances of a component there are in an assembly? Thanks.

Fresh install of s/w 2004 after installing a new hard drive. Prior to this everything worked fine. But now it will not open iges files.

The values for pitch diameter and outside diameter are incorrect according to Machinery's Handbook Edition 24 page 1939. Anyone else come across this? Specifically: 18 tooth, 19.463 Helix Angle, 20 degree pressure angle, 2.0 nominal pitch. Thanks All.

One part model with three configurations. Three drawing files, each references a specific configuration of the part. When in the model the right-click "open drawing" command opens the same drawing every time regardless of which config. is active. Any way around this? 2003 sp4.0

We can not measure hole diameters when using E-Drawings to view native SolidWorks models. We can measure everything else just fine. The only solution we've found is to check "save edrawing data" in the save-as dialog box, but this doubles the file size in most cases. Any solutions? EDrawings...
