Would anyone know if paint just inherently adheres better to 7075 than 6061?
We've been doing some in-house comparisons. We use 6061, and our competitor uses 7075. And their primer seems to stick better. We are alodining the parts.
But before I dig too deeply, I'm just wondering if it's due to...
We've gotten some models from a supplier in CATIA v4 (CATPart)
There's an Open option for .CGR files in SWx, but that ain't cutting it.
(I'm asking on behalf of acowroker in another office 2000 miles away, so I'm shakey on the details)
Thanks.
So yeah....
Is anyone else running into issues? Our surfcam guy is not able to open our 2010 models. It opens 2009 sldprt files just fine.
Anyone have a good work-around? Surfcam is saying their patch is 2-3 months out?
Thx
Another debate raging here at work....
The approved drivers on the SWx site. Are the SPECIFIC ones listed on the site the ONLY ones you should use
OR
The specific ones listed or NEWER?
There are some approved drivers, say for nVidia that are not the latest and greatest drivers from the...
So only one of my guys is running 2010. He's a CSWP. Hates 2010.
He feels it's like the Vista of Solidworks. I've not worked with it myself yet. But apparently there are extra steps to do stuff....almost like an "are you sure you want to do this?"
He finds it very annoying. Then apparently it...
Just a general question.
We have what I think to be pretty sweet desktop machines to run Solidworks. 8GB RAM, nice graphics cards etc...on XP64.
While Solidworks does fine with it, Simulator is still pretty slow, crashes a lot, blue screens of death, and will display blocky graphics when...
I've got an STL file that I bought from turbosquid. I wanted to attack it with Featureworks, but the "recognize features" option is greyed out in the pull-down menu. The menu only has "Options".
Am I doing something wrong?
(SW2009 sp2)
Ok.... I'm just the manager, not the user (anymore)
A couple of guys are running SW09 SP2, 2GB RAM
Is 2 GB just plain insufficient for SW09?
They are getting weird graphical stuff. Dim are disappearing when you click them. (YOu can tell they are still there, but you just can't see them)...
Like the title says, is it possible for the BOM leader to call out the part name instead of the BOM item number?
I tried convincing our mfg guys that it would not be THAT hard for them to switch the "balloon method" on our drawings. But they will have none of it. They want to have the full...
I did do a search, and I THINK I know what to do but I thought I'd better check.
Our IT guy who is not terribly SWx savvy, I THINK he tried to install SWx over top of an existing install. We're switching the workstation from one guy to another.
I had this issue way back when installing...
So yeah...I'm not really a true SWX user anymore. (Long time CATIA v4...and SWx user)... But now I'm a MANAGER...yes...that's right. All bow before me! If I could I'd grow my hair into points....
So anyway. I've been at this job for 6 months. They've had SWx for a while, but they've not been...
I can't beleive I can't find anything about this....
But how can I move a part file (not in an assy) relative to its origin. ie: say I no longer want the Y axis to be up and down. Now I want the Z axis to be up and down?
Thanks
We've got 8 or 9 licenses here. Three of us have tried to upgrade to SW07, sp5. Only one of us was able to install it successfully. Mine said it couldn't find an i386 file somewhere. Another person had a differnt error.
The only difference was that the one gy who pulled it off, used the same...
Ok....smarty-pantses,
We do a lot of reverse engineering. We're experimenting with having parts laser scanned and having the vendor supply a SWx model of the part. Sounds straight forward right? We should be off to the races.
The trick is that the vendor only really works in CATIA v5. So he...
This isn't affecting me....mine's fine. But three people in my group are have trouble with View -> Modify -> Zoom about screen center.
It seems to be locked in that mode regardless of whether you toggle it on or off.
Like I said, mine's just fine. But it's weird that it's happening to three...

I found that someone asked this just about a year ago... but I'll ask it again. Is there a good way to model expanded metal in Swx 2007, or even 2008?
And yes, I'd like the mass to be half-way accurate.
Thanks
I've been away from SWx for a few years and I'm unsure what the best approach would be.
The part starts out as a straight tube. the outside is machined to a taper on both ends. The ends are then bent at about 45 deg, so that it ends up looking like sort of an open trapezoid, if you know what I...
Anyone have any experience with the i.get.it training for SWx? I took one of their courses for Team Center a few years ago and it was ok.
I'm trying to push for the near-exclusive use of SWx at work. They have a mix of 2-D Acad and SWx. The knowledge base is not what it could be. I'm thinking...
Well I have left my job where they use solidworks. It looks very likely I'll be returning to the aerospace industry and therefore back to CATIA.
Just wanted to say thanks to all the guys who helped me with my questions these last few months. It was WAY better than the service my VAR was giving...

We're in the throes of shopping for a CNC lathe. One of the guys we're considering just offered us a licensed copy of EZ Turn Express.
I looked at the site, and it supports .DWG, DXF and IGES. But I'm guessing, it was orginally based on...
