    Break association of drawing with model

    I would like to use a SolidWorks model to put a Model View in the drawing for another part as a reference image, and then unlink it from the model. I'm creating drawings where I want to show what the mating part will look like but I don't want to provide the model. Is this possible?

    E-drawings into PowerPoint

    I'm trying to figure out how to open an E-drawing in Powerpoint. I would like to open the E-drawing, press play and have the part rotate thru the views in my presentation. I'm inserting the E-drawing on a slide as an object but nothing happens when I get to the slide. Any suggestions? Thanks,

    Rename Features

    There are a couple Features we use to create shapes unique to our product, primarily Swept Cut. We use this to create a feature we call a "Flexure". Can I rename the Swept Cut Button to "Flexure" such that the name "Flexure" shows up in the Feature Tree?

    Template Settings

    We're just getting started with SolidWorks and as I configure Part, Drawing and Assembly Templates I want to printout the values I've set, such as spin increments, fonts type and size for annotations,etc. Is there a method or add on I can use to do this?
