Does anyone use PDMWorks Enterprise? And if so, how do you like it? Please note PDMWorks Enterprise is different than the PDMWorks that normally comes with SolidWorks. PDMWorks Enterprise is a software SolidWorks bought from a company named Coniso...
Anyone have any experience with PCI Express cards??? I didn't see it listed on the SolidWorks website. Our IS department ordered a PCI Express x16 card for our newest computer and I would like the warm fuzzy that it will work for large assemblies.
When we make a new sheetmetal part and drop a custom forming tool feature onto the sheetmetal part we get a message box that says "Are you trying to create a derived part" If we answer no it opens the tool by itself. If we answer yes it drops the tool in as a solid at the origin of the part...

How do I do this?
I have modeled up half of a sheetmetal part using the SW sheetmetal features. Can I mirror the sheetmetal features to make a symmetrical part? And can it be fully unfolded when done? The standard mirror button does not seem to function with the sheetmetal part as it does when a part is...
Is it possible to get a custom properties value without actually opening the part?
Here is what I have and it opens the part. I want to determine whether I want to open the part based on the value of a custom property.

I am trying to link a drawing annotation to the user specified part number of either a part or an assembly configuration. Is there any way to do this with SW2004?
Does anyone know how to access the part number of a configuration via a macro?

Please help.
