    Modo to SolidWorks

    Anyone here have any experience working with Modo geometry in SolidWorks? We have a graphic designer type with Modo. He has the Modo plugin which allows him to import SW files, allowing him to do renderings. We are considering getting the Modo plugins which would allow him to make aesthetic...

    Toolbox copied parts regressing during upgrade to 2011.

    I just upgraded from 2009 SP5.1 to 2010 SP5.0 and then from 2010 SP5.0 to 2011 SP5.0. Everything looked OK in 2010. The conversion to 2011 did not go as well. We use the "Create Parts" option for the toolbox where a part is created for each fastener, as opposed to using a configuration in the...

    Fasteners in PDMWorks (Good Idea / Bad Idea)

    I am close to talking myself into placing all of our common purchased parts, including ones derived from the toolbox into PDMWorks. We currently have the toolbox set up to create copy parts. We then rename, cleanup and move it to our design library. Well that is what is supposed to happen...

    How to dissolve subassemblies in BOM.

    I have an assembly with several subassemblies. I would like to have the BOM of the assembly list the components of the components of some of the subassemblies rather than those subassemblies. The following threads mention dissolving assemblies from within the BOM, but I have been unable to...

    Quadro FX550 and SW 2008 compatibility.

    I am thinking of getting a new system with a Quadro FX550 in it. Is anyone using this card with SW 2008? I tried looking at the compatibility list on the SW website but that does not include SW 2008 even though it is now “available”. I intend to drive two displays at 1280 x 1024. Any info...

    API Call to Determine If a Part is From the Toolbox

    I am looking for a way, using the SolidWorks API, to check the state of the flag that identifies toolbox parts. I remember a thread about this, but the closest I could find while searching was: thread559-179291. The SolidWorks Document Manager, SwDMDocument::ToolboxPart property is close, but...

    Toolbox Usage Survey

    I would like to hear if and how people are using the SolidWorks toolbox and how happy they are with their setup. Our toolbox is configured following the instructions for a multi-user shared toolbox on a network location, where configurations are created. We also use PDMWorks which is set up so...

    SW 2007 Task Scheduler and PDMWorks Workgroup Problem

    I am doing my test install of SolidWorks 2007. I have SolidWorks and SolidWorks Explorer installed and I can log into and access our PDMWorks Workgroup server from both. However, when I start the SolidWorks Task Scheduler, the "Update PDMWorks Workgroup Files" and "Print PDMWorks Workgroup...

    Daylight Savings Time Change and PDMWorks Vault Issue

    We were having an issue with our PDMWorks vault this last week and since I can see it happening to others out there, I thought I would pass along the solution. The problem that we were seeing was that all of the files that we were checking in were getting red flagged as being a different file...

    Threaded Holes Becoming Corrupted

    We have been having a problem with tapped holes. Someone will be working with a part and one or more extremely large phantom circles will appear. These phantom circles can be tracked to tapped holes, which will then have some invalid size properties. This has happened on more than one...

    Patterning Reference Geometry

    Have any of you found a way to pattern or mirror reference geometry such as points, axes or plains? It seems that the pattern and mirror commands do not allow reference geometry to be included in the set of features to act upon. I have even tried encapsulating them into library features and...

    What to do with the toolbox while installing?

    With 2006 now available, I feel that it is time to ask about something that has been lurking in the back of my mind for some time now. From reading the forums, I have gotten the impression that the thing to do when upgrading to a new release is wipe out the old version and do a clean install of...

    Equations Causing VB Project Reset Messages

    Recently I have started getting multiple popups stating: “This action will reset your project, proceed anyway?” when I am working with a part that has equations defined. The popups appear one after the next as I select ok or cancel. When I rebuild the part, I will get one popup for every...

    Toolbox Fasteners and Slow PDMWorks Check In

    We are experiencing a problem while checking in assemblies that have toolbox fasteners. It acts like it is checking in the fasteners and taking up to a minute to check each fastener in. This can add 5 to 10 minutes to the check in time for an assembly. We started to notice this around the...
