    Vista 64B and Copy Settings Wizard...

    Hi all, I am attempting to use the SW Copy Settings Wizard (CSW) to install a Registry File with my Custom Settings in it on a 64 Bit Vista (Business Edition, SP1.0) Dell Desktop. Upon activating the CSW, all of the Option Boxes appear "greyed out" as if I do not have Adminstrative privelages...

    Hello, I am trying to setup some new Weldment Profiles within SW to expand the existing selection set. Upon creation of the new Profile, I would like to automate my Cut List creation for the item so that the Stock Sizes and Material shows up in the Cut List. Many of the stock profiles...

    Is SW on the right track?

    I’ll throw this out, hopefully for some constructive candid feedback. I have been seeing a reoccurring theme since getting involved with SW (back in 2004), and have been receiving a good deal of feedback from some of my seasoned users that have made the same observation, since 1999. The...

    Material changing problems since SP4.0...

    We are having a problem that we can not change the material on some parts. The only way to change it is to delete the material and then add it again with the new description. It just started with Service pack 4.0. Has any one else experienced this problem. M.B. Price CSWP...

    Expanded Weldment Profile Library...

    Hi all, Does anyone know of any third party packages that may offer an expander pack for the stock SW Weldment Profile Library? I know they are reasonably easy to create myself, however; I have bigger fish to fry and would rather purchased them already done. Call me lazy...[tongue] M.B...

    SW 2006 to 2007 Migration issues...

    Hi all, we recently made the switch over to SW 2007 SP3.0 I know, we're running a little late. B-( I used SW and a custom Batch Processor to open (migrate) all of my Library and Fastener files prior to our launch to insure best performance. Everything seemed to be fine, however I am noticing...

    Combining multiple Drawings within SW

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a slick way to combine drawings from multiple files into a single file with multiple sheets within SW? I think I've exhausted the SW Help as well as searching the SW Forum with not much luck. Thanks in advance! M.B. Price CSWP www.assembly-testww.com Automated...

    Design Table / Excel Conflict

    Has anyone else experienced SW locking up when trying to access a DT when Excel is running in the background? For some reason, when I exit a DT, the Excel process does not always shut down. The next time I access a DT, things work just fine until I attempt to exit the DT, then SW hangs, not...

    Surfaces to Solidbody conversion

    Hi all, Is it possible (within SW 2006, SP4.1) to convert Surfaces to become Solidbodies? We use Step Files from our customers all the time that come in as Surfaces with no mass properties. We would like to convert them to Solid Bodies and specify the material to better use Cosmos to analyze...

    Degree of Freedom

    It seems to me that there was at one time a way of easily displaying the degrees of freedom that any part within an assembly had available after mating the part. I am currently using SW 2006, SP 4.1. Does anyone know of a command to allow me to graphically see the degree of freedom of a...
