Hi, I have a problem from time to time where I can not select lines on drawings for dimensions etc. I thought at first that it was because of hidden parts in the drawing view blocking the lines. It was not. Then thought it may have been a drawing view overlapping the problem view. It was not...

Hello. Has any body had any problems with the new design library. We have a parts library we access over a network. This parts libray is in the design library. Sometimes when dragging parts from this into an assembly, the BSOD has appeared and I have lost work and time. Is this an issue with...

Hello all An easy question here today. What does the Advanced tick box do when opening drawings etc? Jim NZ

I have modeled an assembly using equations to control part's lengths etc. This assembly has multiple configurations. The over all dimensions are very easy to change and everything updates when forced rebuild is keyed. My problem happens when drawings referencing this assembly fall over. To fix...

Hello all, I have had problems when using assemblies with derived configurations. The problems seem to occur when a sub assembly also has derived configurations. Mates fall over, configurations change within the sub assembly etc. Usually a couple of forced rebuilds will fix the problem but is a...

Is there any way of making a Lofted Feture a Flat Pattern. Jimdogg
