Anyone out there having any issues with Release 2 of Server 2003 service pack 2 ?? Currently this is what SW has to say about it:
As of January 31st, 2007, the testing of SolidWorks products on Windows Server 2003 R2 was still in process. Therefore at this time the performance of SolidWorks...
Has anyone else had a problem with opening pdfs generated from SolidWorks with programs other than Adobe? We have Myriad and AutoVue here, and both have a major issue opening these pdfs, but Adobe is fine. AutoVue is set to be our systems main viewing software and markup utility.
Anyone else...
Anyone having any real life stories about NOT turning off the anti virus and installing without any problems? I'm discussing this matter, due to the fact we are seeing all sorts of bizarre little problems since updating to 2007, and IT did not turn off the Anti-Virus. I'm tired of arguing the...
So from 2005 to 2006 they recommended uninstalling SW and installing 06 new. It seems the same for 07? Has anyone had any problems just upgrading? What's everyone seeing? I had some toolbox issues when I did the uninstall/reinstall from 05 to 06.
I will be needing to upgrade soon, as the...
I'm the lone ranger here, and coming from a long history with PDM works, installed it at the company, even though I'm the only user (revision control is a no brainer). My question, or rather poll is has anyone else dealt with having outside contractors using Solidworks, and trying to get them...
Haven't posted in awhile, but I've been dealing with some customer files that have been large multi-bodied files, not assemblies. These aren't similar features of the sort and the feature tree is huge due to all the different bodies. Now, I can break them out and what not, but I'm just...
Anyone figure out a way to create a zero line weight? This is for photo etching TIF file generating. What I've found is that the fills will go to the outside edge of the line weight. And the smallest line weight SW lets you have is .001968504 and although this is very small, it still makes...
I just upgraded from 2005 SP2.0 to 4.0, and solidworks is okay, but when I replaced the old help files with the new ones, it can't hyperlink to them. None of my browser settings have changed, and I've done the extraction a couple of times. I have a call into tech support, but they aren't...
So, I've got a part with a series of holes spaced in pattern that is .10" x .10", and the holes are say .05" in diameter. This pattern fills a circle of 10.75". This yeilds a ton of entities no matter which way you slice it. So far, the fastest performer has been a sketch of one quadrant...

The above link is to an article published by PTC stating all the things SWX can't do, or do well. Note: no where does it state what version of SW they compared it to. This type of stuff just doesn't fly with me. So, how about some...
Anyone else dealing with this. I have some geometry that has elipses and offsets from elipses which of course create splines. This geometry is then Saved as a dwg file to open in Acad and make closed polylines out of. Problem is it seems, that Acad can't make splines or elipses into...
So I added a new model file I created to my Toolbox, but then moved the Toolbox to the network so we could all get on the same page. What I forgot was that the link to the part was to a location not on the network. So, how do I get the thing out or better yet fix it. I tried to take a quick...
anyone else have this annoying problem. When generating a detail view, the view arrows only appear when the shape of the detail view is selected. Other than that they are gone? It's piddly, but it's been buggin me since 2005 started?

Looking for some creative ways to stress the usage of a PDM system (PDM Work in particular) to management and cost associated with not having it. Please let me know, every day is another crisis of copied, deleted, renamed, or moved file nightmare! I've been pushing it for several months now...
So, here's the deal. Can't seem to convince the people making the final decision to buy, that PDM Works is worth it. I know, and you know otherwise. So I've been asked to solve the problem by other means. Here's the kicker, we have MatrixOne which is has a horrible interface and just needs...
So, for years I've been using OLE objects and has always bugged me about the size limitations. Especially Excel, you can only go so wide and tall before it truncates the file. This forces you into splitting the table, or making the text very small and increasing it's aspect ratio, but then just...
Have a current arguement going on which PDM system to use, I prefer PDMWorks but the company has eMatrix, and from what I've heard the eMatrix UI is a disaster. Any words from people using solidworks and eMatrix?
Thanks
