Anyone know why this happens?
Here's a screenshot of my drawing, which is an assembly with some textures applied. The drawing view is shaded with edges.

When I print, view the print, print to .pdf, or save as .pdf, the view looks like...
Hello,
I apologize if this question has been asked before or if the answer is too simple to warrant a posting.
I have an aluminum casting with cored holes. (4 mounting holes 90deg apart, around the part's center). At our maching level print we are tapping all 4 holes. In reality, the tap will...
To the best of my knowledge, ASME Y14.5M-1994 does not explicitly say the GDT feature control frame must be horizontal, but I'm assuming it does. A coworker asked me if I thought a vertical box is allowed, and I'm not 100% certain the control frame has to be horizontal. Any thoughts??

Anyone else have problems with a texture, applied to a face at the part level, dissappearing at the assembly level? Specifically, if I make a extrude cut feature in the assembly, the texture on the part then disappears. Even when the cut is on a different face, or different part, the texture...
I've noticed that when I place a model view into a a drawing, I can go back and change the view. For example, if I place a front view, I can click on the view and make it an isometric, left, or whatever. At some point though, this option goes away. If you click on the view, the "orientation"...
Anyone ever try this? It works fine in a part, but not and assembly. BTW I'm using 2007 sp2.2
For example, I have a shaft that is a part, and a feature resembling grinding takes off a few thousanths of an inch. I basically have horizontal and vertical lines with a centerline, and I can do a...
Our company is wresting with how to integrate SolidWorks into our design and manufacturing departments.
In a purely theoretical world, design engineering would like to have a flat BOM, where a number of parts are placed into a final assembly.
On the other hand, manufacturing would like to have...
I have a derived sketch that needs to be rotated 180 deg. about the vertical axis. That is, I want the derived sketch mirrored, or pasted on the "back" side of the plane. Anyone know how to do this??

When you change the color of a part in the feature tree, say to orange for example, then the color of all FUTURE features will be orange. If you go to options, document properties, colors, and change the color of any feature, say a boss changes to red, then any future bosses change to red. So...
This question was somewhat addressed years ago in thread 559-27831, but I don't think anyone knew the answer. I am now trying to make an assembly sketch dimension reappear. Anyone know the answer? Is there an option to "show" these dimensions after they've been hidden?

I am wanting to add an existing configuration to a design table. (It existed in the DT before, but was deleted). When I edit the DT, I am no longer prompted to include this configuration.
The only way to have taht dialog box show up is to save, close, reopend the file, then edit the DT. Then...
If anyone uses PDMWorks, and heavily uses configuration specific custom properties, you might know the answer to my question.
We have part/assy files, with many configurations, and each configuration could contain a few custom properties. We have about 200 custom properties to draw from (we...
Anyone know where to find information on Freemax 15/20 steel? With that, I'm always looking for good steel comparison information--machinability, strength, wear resistance, etc.
