Gentleman,
1. Is there a way to link text and a sketch box around the text together, so they move together?
2. Can I then intern dimension to the text?
3. Can I dimension a block of multiple entities as one whole unit to move and place in a drawing together with an overall X, Y placement...
Gentlemen,
I am looking for a way to link imported CADKEY "dumb" prints to "new" solid models of the same parts created in Solidworks, so the dumb print will follow and be linked to the "new" solid model in PDM.
I do not need the dumb print to change with the model, these are old prints and...
Can anyone suggest "from experience" a good 1/4 to 3/8 roughing end mill to machine 17-4 PH SS???
I recieved a couple of GARR VRX series (latest and greatest) tools that did not work as advertised. The tool is wearing very, very quickly and building up chips very fast. These two things are kind...
I can not seem to be able to put individual feature sketches onto a layer. I am trying to do this so I can use my sketches as tool paths for CNC programming.
I can put all solid geometry on layers, turn them off, and "show" the sketch, this works but doesn't seem to be the best way to do it...
I have a real newbie question here:
Where/how do I setup solidworks to automatically give me the change dimension dialog box immediately after I create a dimension,instead of having to double click the dimension to change it?
Having a brian block, thanks for the help...
My company is in the middle of updating our PLM software to Vantage. Currently we have a few non linked systems to do BOM,Routes, Cost role up, etc...
Does anyone have any experience with "exporting"/linking Solidworks information (drawing information mostly) to a PLM software of this type...
My admin has updated Solidworks with the SP2.1, now we are unable to login or access PDM???
A message appears that the user version is nwer than the vault version, and no PDM update is available?!?!
Has anyone run into this, and how do I fix this???
Have you guys found 2006 to be stable. The software crashed on me at least 5 times daily...It always seems to happen when I am changing component angles and component configurations within an assembly(rather simple things).
Does anyone know where I can get electricl schematic symbols online, preferably freeware?? I would like to put together a schematic and don't want to have to draw each component symbol individually...
As always thanks in advance...
I have completed a project and would like to copy the entire project folder (parts,assemblies,and prints to a CD for my customer. What is the easiest/best way to do this???
I am trying to equate power draw on a mixing motor to vicosity of solution?? Ihave been ready up on it, but am having a hard time finding a practical set of equations to do so....

I have been trying to put a jog into a tapered round profile. The flex feature give no predictablity at all. each time I change one bend the other is out of wack. I tried using a sheetmetal feature, but this doesn't like the round base feature either. For such a simple thing I am have spent way...
I am in the process of taking all our company brochures and putting them into SolidWorks drawings from PDF documents. I have the ability to cut and paste them into a drawing,but when I scale them up, the resolution of the text gets really bad...Is there a direct PDF editor or does some have a...

Thanks...
Can anyone give me a good technique to import image information into a model, and use it to produce an embossed logo? What file type(s) work best fr this?
I am curious how you guys handle the dimensional differences before and after heat treating on your drawings. Do you build in the shrink factor,do you inspect the components before heat treat ,or do you call out a before and after heat treat dimensional specification?????
Thanks in advance...
I am drawing a blank on this one guys...I have a fully dimensioned drawing, and I would like to keep the drawing, and swap out a similar model into the pre existing drawing. I have done this in the pst I am drawing a complete blank this morning.
I am in the process of doing some stress calculation on the bearing surfaces of two mating parts of an assembly. I need to determine a tangent point and angle at there point of contact. I was/am able to flex the model and take a measurement of these two parameters. I was wondering if any has...
