We just installed sw08 and updated our pdm vault. Now we can't print the edrawing screen shot of the file under the Document Information window.
(ie: on the vault tree, right mouse click the drawing, select "Document Information...", View tab.)
The image shows, but where are all the buttons...
Currently, we are experimenting with the built-in sw drawing revision tables to be used instead of our existing PropertyLinks add-on.
Up to now, whenever we check-in a drawing, the drawing revision is automatically updated to reflect the new update in the vault. The drawback is that when we go...
Im having an issue with one of my 3D models in SW-06(sp4).
Im getting the "Unexpected file format" error message. The file was working perfectly yesterday, but for some reason something happend overnight and it wont let me open.
Does SW have some sort of file checker tool to possibly scan this...
I can't seem to find any resources or charts on the coefficient of friction of concrete and steel together on both wet and dry surfaces. Also, on various surfaces such as open and sealed concrete. Is there such a thing?
Is there a simple way to move all my assembly files in a separate folder to the root folder of my assembly?
i.e. fasteners, small parts, etc...
For this particular project, I wanted everything in one folder.
I noticed photoworks has an option called 'Pack and Go', but I have a feeling it creates...
Is it just me or is the solidworks printing functionality useless?
Whenever i need to print special views out of a drawing (like quick 1:1 zoomed-in-views for the guys on the shopfloor) i need to save the sw drawing as a dwg file...open up autocad and use the printing options there, which are...
We seem to be having a hard time getting our CNC venders to accept eDrawings from us. Apparently their CNC machines require DXF or DWG files. Im not sure what to tell them. EDrawings are the only format we send to our vendors, otherwise it becomes a hassle and time consuming keeping track of...
Is it possible to embed or create a functioning revision table in the Sheet document? That way, when I have multiple sheets for my assembly, I just have to update the one revision table and the rest of the sheets are updated automatically.
It’s very time consuming having to make a revision...
Is there a setting somewhere to be able to dimension a silhouette edge on a drawing?
I have created a small weldment using the "Structural Member" feature, and selected a Round Tube. Then clicked on the arc i have drawn. Next I project the model onto a drawing and then try to dimension an edge...
I finally found the option to create a multi-jog leader to an already-created balloon, by accident...but...I cant seem to be able to do it again!
I was trying to find a way to associate the balloon number to an annotation-note (not sure if its possible) when i right-mouse-clicked on the balloon...
I'm trying to create a weldment made up of several cut sheet metal stampings then mig-welded together. Is there a way to build a sheet metal weldment within a .sldprt environment? It appears SW only allows one sheet metal profile within a part file. Im trying to avoid creating multiple part...
Is there a way to extract the Feature Tree parts list from solidworks to a word processor such as Word or Excel?
I have a large assembly and I would like to print off a list of all the components (parts) from that assembly without having to create a drawing and produce a bom...

This design checker seems to be pretty helpfull. But i cant seem to change the default units from meters (m) to inches! I always install sw using ansi and all my dwgs are in imperial. Even my windows settings are set to US. standards.
Any suggestions?

Is there a macro out there to create a swaged hole on my tube model?
All im doing right now is just drilling a hole and then labeling it as a 'swaged hole' on my drawings. :(
thx,

Is there a way to copy the revision table on the first page of my drawing to all the pages of my document without having to re-type everything?

I have been using relative view for awhile now, and whenever i come to a piece on my assembly that has no straight edges (ie, round bar, or a shaft), i cant import that piece into a drawing without draging in the whole assembly. I can pick the 'cut-off' surface of the shaft for the "first"...
Whenever i modify the core "Drawing.drwdot" (to change arrow sizes, fonts, etc), and save it back to the Drawing Template file, i always loose the Popup "Sheet Format/Size" window everytime i want to create a new drawing. Is there a setting somewhere that turns this window back on???

My I.T. guy seems to think that there is no reason why we should switch our computers to NTFS, even though we are all running windows XP. I find it a pain in the butt when my system crashes and i have to wait for the OS to do its checks before logging in. I've always had NTFS systems at my...
Is there a way for several users to access one assmebly file for adding components to it? If everyone in the office is working on the same project, how can we all add/modify parts from that assembly without getting "Read-only" or "File opened by another user" messages?
There must be a setting...
