Hi all, Two dimension questions- 1) I imported all my model dimensions into a drawing, however when cleaning them up and re-arranging I inadvertently deleted a few. Can I re-import only select dimensions? 2) I know it's a major faux-pa, but is their any way to dimension hidden lines...

Can't remember for the life of me, when drawing half a profile for a revolve isn't there some way to enter diameter values?

Hello all, Running 06' sp3 here. (desperately wish we could afford to upgrade to 08/09). I cannot save an assembly. SW just hangs and freezes upon trying to save. I have to task manager and force quit. For the past several years I've been ok, but recently not. I can't ascertain any windows...

Hello, I've got a wing and a fuselage as seperate parts. I'm trying to create a nice fat fillet to join them. So far I've created a new part within the assembly, and joined the fuselage and wing. Then made the fillet between the two. How now do I break out out the wing again, with the...

I'd like to design a part as a solid, and then seperate EACH face into sheet metal. For easier visualization, I'll tell ya it's gonna be a motorcycle swingarm. I'm a bit familar with SW sheetmetal, but am getting stuck here. I don't really have and "traditional" bends, jogs, hems, etc. etc...

I'm the Mastercam guy at the shop here, and am attempting to design a complex-ish fixture using my co-workers solidworks workstation...please go easy on me. :D I've got a hydraulic cylinder modeled as an assembly with two parts- a body and the rod. The limit distance mate is figured out to set...

First off, I'm the occasional SW user. I usually reside in Mastercam, but when my designer is out I have to hack away in SW. Pardon any rookie-isms. Why do little 1kb files generate themselves everytime I open a SW file (.sldp,.sldasm)? They have the filename of said file, with a tilde in...

Is there a "bound box" feature in SW2004? Mastercam has a nice feature that I use for asssertaining what size stock to use for my part. Anything in SW? thx for any help. :)

We just updated to 04, and .swj files are generated every time I open something. Can't seem to figure out how to turn them off, or have them sent to a specified folder. Any ideas?

Howdy, I'm creating a model and attempting numerous revolve cut features. Some of my attempts result in the error: "Unable to create this feature because it would result in zero-thickness geometry." Some portions of the revolve cut would indeed be exiting the model, and essentially...

Howdy, Hopefully a simple question here: When I create a drawing (from a part), why don't my file properties import into the drawing? My drawing template titleblock has linked text to the file's material, quantity, name, etc. I currently have to re-enter all the data from the .sldprt file...
