I am involved in the design of a device that utilizes a rotating shaft driven by a T-head gearbox to two driven devices on each end of the shaft. All three of these devices are mounted to a common plate. Note that the shaft rotates slowly. Approx 100 rpm. The shaft diameter is approx 1/2"...
First off, let me thank you for taking the time to read this. Please see the attached pdf.
My goal is to align the small holes to the larger holes. The small holes create a cross hair type pattern. I need the accuracy of the location ON the cross hair to be held closer than the accuracy...
So I am trying to hack a macro together based on a traverse assembly macro (and a find prop macro that handleman provided some time ago). I would like to have an assembly open and traverse it and its children and their configs to look for a custom property. If the property does not exist or...
I remember seeing a thread recently that listed the codes that are embedded in each file based on the version that it was created under. I can't find that thread. I recently acquired a macro that you can run and it will tell you the version... but it only works up to SW2007. I need the codes...
I am looking to find a macro that will list the version of SolidWorks that a file (or directory) was last saved as. I seem to recall this being discussed several months ago, but was unable to find it.
Thanks.

I have done some searching on this topic. Reference:
thread559-122404
thread559-163578
thread559-158861
thread559-122404 specifically is addressing my issue, but this was back in '05, so I am wondering if anything has changed.
My issue is this, I have 3 (sometimes 2) sheets on a drawing, the...
Anyone interested,
SolidWorks has re-issued their vouchers for one free exam. This time the promotion is extended through Dec. 31 2008 but you don't actually have to take the exam until July 31 2009. See the link for details. Evidently valid subscription service is required...
Anybody have a utility that can generate a list of which files (in a given directory) do not have a certain custom property?
Example:
I have a custom property called SP:DOC_NR and want to know which files in the directory are missing this property.
I have zero capability to write the utility...
Anybody have a utility (preferably outside of SolidWorks) that can generate a list of which files (in a given directory) do not have a certain custom property? I know I can write one that will open each file and find out if the property exists and then throw it on a text file of it doesn't...
The site states that the exam will be available in July and there is a sample exam posted.

I recently passed the ME PE (machine design depth) and may have the opportunity to do some side work in "simple" HVAC design. Checking and stamping design calcs for HVAC in residential and small commercial buildings in California. I don't really have much of a background in HVAC, but I want to...
Anyone know anything about becoming a Certified SolidWorks Instructor? I don't see anything on the SW website about it... other than here:

Does anyone have any experience with "installation" drawings using SolidWorks? Let me give a brief description of what I mean by an "installation" drawing. An installation drawing will typically show a part or group of parts being installed onto a much larger machine, or into a facility (or a...
Figured I would pass this link along. You can find some vintage engineering (and other) textbooks on this site. As well as some other gems.

I simply assumed this was possible, but it doesn't seem to work. I have two configs (in a part) that I can manually assign different materials to. I am unable to control this material within the context of a design table.
I attempted to create the design table the way I always do, I create...
Hello,
Does anyone have experience calculating the stress in a welded connections that are under a bending load? Specifically using the techniques outlined in the Shigley Mechanical Engineering Design. These techniques represent the weld as line.

Hello, I have also posted this question in the Materials Engineering forum.
I am in the process of doing an FEA on a part made out of G-10. I am unable to find some material properties that are necessary for the FEA. I have some of the standard stuff, tensile strength, Modulus of Elasticity...
Hello,
I am in the process of doing an FEA on a part made out of G-10. I am unable to find some material properties that are necessary for the FEA. I have some of the standard stuff, tensile strength, Modulus of Elasticity etc, but I cannot find any information about Poisson ratio.
I have...
