    Favorites in file explorer window

    This may seem like a dumb question, but I have searched for this but have found no answer. How do you add favorites to the Inventor file explorer?

    AMS-4777 Nickel Alloy

    Does anyone know if AMS-4777 Nickel Alloy is compatible with a 35% peroxide solution? I have been searching but cannot find a definitive answer. I plan on using this material in a furnace brazed assembly of several pieces of 316 stainless steel. 316 is good with peroxide so I need to verify the...

    Automatic PDF creation when checking drawings into Vault

    I was told that it is possible to have Inventor automatically generate a PDF file when you check in an IDW file. Is this an add on or does a macro/program need to be made? Can someone point me in the right direction. I am running Inventor/Vault 2013.

    Dimensions in a Detail View

    Hello All, This has been asked once before (thread790-97325)and it recieved no replies, but I thought I would ask it again as I have need for an answer as well. The question is regarding the placement of dimensions in an enlarged detail view. Actually rather than placement it is a question of is...

    Keyboard Shortcuts

    Hello All, Over the course of the last two years I have customized my Inventor installation with a variety of keyboard shortcuts. All was well. However, today some of them have ceased to function. Even though the command alias is still present for the command, the command is not executed. This...

    Component Patterns

    Hello All, Regarding patterns of parts within an assembly, is there any way to break parts from the pattern much in the way SolidWorks allows you to disolve the pattern? I see that there is an option 'independent' that can be applied to the elements of the pattern but it does not make the parts...

    Selection Sets

    Does anyone find that they have a need to use the Inventor selection options such as; component offset, component size, sphere offset or selection by plane? I have been using Inventor now for a couple of years and have never used these commands and do not really see their value. Am I missing...

    Video Card Recomendations

    Hello, I am running Inventor 2009 on a Dell Precision T5400, Inten Zeon X5450 @3.9GHz with 3.25GB of RAM. My current video card is an NVIDIA Quadro FX570. I have been experiencing some issues with larger assemblies that my reseller has said were video related and recomended that I upgrade my...

    Keyboard Settings

    Hello All, Is it possible to reassign any of the 'F' keys? For most tasks I am able to customise the keyboard to suit my needs. However, I would like to reassign the 'Free Rotation' command from F4 control, or if possible to a mouse command, but I do not see F4 listed in the list of assigned...

    Line Thickness for Balloons

    Hello All, Can the line width for balloons be specified? I do not see it listed in document properties. Are its properties linked to another type of annotation? I am running SW2008. Thanks

    SW Routing Orientation of Reducer

    Hello All, I have been using Routing for a month or so and have found it to be extremely unstable and quite frustrating. I have had routes created that were saved and fit correctly within the top level assy (saved and rebuilt) only to have them corrupted upon opening the top level assy the...

    304 Stainless Stress Values

    Hello All, I know that this is probably a pretty basic question, however, I have just started to work with the Pressure Vessel Code. Where are the stress tables for 304L located?

    Routing of pipe components

    Hello All, I have been using the SolidWorks Routing module to create the plumbing for a biodiesel processing plant. The routes are comprised of flanges, fittings and valves. Is it just me or is Routing inherently unstable? If I create a pipe run and need to go back to adjust a dimension of the...

    E-Mailing Vaulted E-Drawings

    In SW2007 how can you e-mail an e-drawing of a vaulted document? 'Pack and Go'only seems to work on non-vaulted documents. I cannot find a way to make a copy of the e-drawing to a local drive. My VAR says that there is no way to do this, which strikes me as odd. Isn't that the purpose of...

    WORD DOCUMENTS IN SW DRAWINGS

    The assembly drawings that we create at this company contain assembly procedures on the drawing. These procedures can be quite long. I have been attempting to write them in Word and then paste them onto the format. I am having difficulties in sizing the text on the format as well as editing the...

    Missing Drawing Views in Vaulted Documents

    I have an issue regarding viewing and printing SW drawings that have been checked into the vault using PDMWorks. When we view and print the files the geometry in some of the views is missing. Annotation appears, but the actual part does not. If I check the drawing out of the vault all the views...

    Does do any of the companies for which you work still require you to make spec control drawings for purchased standard off the shelf cataloge items?

    Dual Dimensions

    Does anyone know if there is the ability to selectively modify placement of the dual dimension units (side, top, etc)? I can only change the display as a global property. I am running 2006. One of my co-workers fels he needs to do this on a drawing that contains a large amount of dimensions.

    Missing Document Properties

    I have just installed SW2005 and a strange problem has developed. When I use the 'make drawing' icon, as I have been doing in all previous releases, the template loads but all the linked annotation has disappeared. If I open the template from windows explorer all the annotation links are there...

    SolidWorks 2004 Headless?

    I had Bluebeam PDF conversion software on my computer and needed to remove it. After having done so when I try to open SolidWorks a dialog box comes up that says 'please wait while windows configures Solidworks 2004 Headless'. It also asks for the Misumi cataloge disc. When I load that into the...
