I am virtually new to Solidworks as I have not used it in a couple years, nor needed to do this. My boss and I are looking for a way to lock solidworks files so they cannot be edited unless name is changed and rev is updated. Is there a program, built in or add on, like Autodesk Vault, which...

While looking into components, I find that Power Pack items, in this case Structural Steel, include the measurement of the part. This value is the length used when inserted and updates when the part is updated. We are trying to make our own components and I would like to know how to include...

I am looking into other 3d cad for work. When we detail in 2D we have a large number of vertical members, square or rectangular, which have centerlines to aid in dimensioning and punching of mating pieces. Tried to do this in Inventor9, but it would require a vba to properly make.Other work...

This is a reiteration of an older post. Still having the same problem. We still use acad 2000 (Upper management decision) but have some seats of acad 2005 for working with customer files that have been saved as such. When we open a 2000 dwg in '05 we get a warning that it was made in an...

I am trying to setup Inventor for my company. We make architectural products and have several dozen parts, which can make as many assemblies. These assemblies will be driven per job. I am setting up these base models for production use and am trying to figure out the best way to organize them...

I am looking for a lisp for ACAD 2000. I need it to allow selection of multiple dimensions and add them together. Does one exist? Is there a site(s) that would have a collection of lisp commands? Adam

We have ACAD 2000 on all of our machines. A PE has 2004. Both are fully licensed versions. Until recently we have had no problems sending dwg files to them. Today we had one in particular. It seems that a group of dwg's, which can be openned on any machine here, when openned by the PE, gets a...

Pardon the oddness of this thread. Aside from engineering, I am also involved in game design (board, card, role-playing games). I am looking for plastic extrusions which are cheap, can be provided in 5 colors, 2 shapes, and cut to length (preferably by the manufacturer). The pieces would be...

Good day I have recently begun detailing of structural steel. I need a list which provides info of all steel shapes and gage dims. My Ryerson book does not have all the shapes or gage.
