Hi,
Even though I have been using SW for quite some time now, up until now I haven't used surfaces much, just solids, creating everything from scratch. Now, I have some files imported from Catia with very complex, wavy shapes which I have to work on in SW07. The files were imported as surfaces...
Hi guys,
Imagine you have a disk. On one of the faces you you need to put a circular groove, concentric with the disk, with a width from r1 to r2 (radius) and an angular length from ß1 to ß2 (angular). The trick is that the depth of this groove needs to be variable, like a swimming pool going...
Hi,
I'm fresh new to Inventor and here is my question: is it possible to define the functionality of the middle mouse button (wheel) so that when I click and drag it will Rotate the model?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am interested in making one of my SW project available to an Inventor user. Does anyone know a way to do this, with as much feature preservation as possible?
Thanks,

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to move components of a subassembly (relative to the other parts of the subassembly) while the subassembly is inserted in an assembly? Or, the only way to do it is go back to the subassembly, move the component, then return to the full assembly?
Thank...
Hi everyone,
1. FILE SIZE: Can anybody tell me if these file sizes are normal?
Assembly:
# of parts ~ 175
Complexity of parts: low to average (size 0.1 – 2.5 MB; screw threads as circular, tilted revolved cuts, screw file size about 2.2MB, say 50 screws total)
Size of the SLDASM file: 18MB...
Hi,
I would like to have a SW table in my drawing, but at the same time I would like to have an Excel based one that I can manipulate for other purposes (for example cost estimation, different formatting for reports etc.).
Deos anyone know how I can get both (normally SW doesn't allow for...
Hi,
I am working with SW2004 SP2.0 under WinXP.
Regardless of the setting of the dimension colors (Tools / Options / Colors) or the settings related to the layer I am working on, the driven dimensions appear red.
The only way I can change the driven dimension color is to select it then click...
Hi,

Computer: Dell desktop
Freq: 2.4 GHz
RAM: 528 MB
HDD: 40GB (30GB free space)
Graphic Card: Intel 82865G - 64MB

Hi,
Anyone can help me set SW so that it saves the journal file swxJRNL.swj in the same folder as the open file?
In Tools / Options / File Locations / SW Journal File you can only set s specified folder, I guess.
Note: I am using SW2004 under Win2000.
Thank you much,

Hi all,
Say you have a new design/part and you make a manufacturing drawing for it, as the first version.
Then you add corrections/changes to the part, and to the drawing, in different stages, but you want to keep all the history of the drawings.
But once you update the model, the drawing...
Hi all,
This is happening in an assembly drawing. I needed to change the name of the configuration of a part. The part (with the specific configuration) was previously #4 in the BOM (the BOM had 12 items). After renaming the part configuration, it appeared in the BOM as #13 and #4 was missing...
Hi everyone,
I am trying to make an AVI for a project presentation. The project is an assembly with parts and sub-assemblies. One of the ways things move in it is by fading away parts to reveal what is beneath them. The problem is that parts contained in subassemblies seem to be impossible to...
Hello,
I just used the Text sketch feature to extrude a text on a flat surface, but this doesn't seem to work, or be that straightforward, for a cylindrical or spherical surface.
Can it be done?
Thanks.

Hi,
Anyone knows if and how you can animate just one part in an assembly. Let's take for example an assembly of a fan. How can you make the propeller rotate (continuously) in an animation, and the rest of the parts (fan frame...) stay put?
Thanks,
Sorin
Anyone knows how can you save your Options (in the Tools menu) settings (in SW 2000 and 2001) as a scheme that you find by default (or at least can load) anytime you start a new part or assy, or more settings schemes that you can load as you need? I mean for both the System Options and Document...
Hi guys,
Sorry for the rookie question, but here it is: I am trying to create a simple mold design in SW 2000 and I run into a problem. After creating the interim asembly with the cavity then the two derived parts (upper and lower half molds), I created a new assembly where I want to build my...
