    Score on bend line

    I hope this is easier than I am making it out to be..... We have some 1/8" thick uhmw sheeting that we bend at 90 degrees. Prior to bending, we score one side of the sheet 1/16" deep on the bend line. This keeps the material from springing back to flat after bending. I need help modeling...

    Sheet Metal Predefined View

    I would like to create a drawing template that is set up with a predefined flat pattern view. This way, I could quickly create a 1:1 flat pattern with bend lines and notes turned on. Is this possible to do without writing a macro, or does someone have a macro that is close enough that they...

    Multiple Instances of Solidworks

    Prior to SW2007, I was able to run 2+ instances of SW at a time. With dual monitors, it was handy for me to reference a drawing on one screen while working on a new drawing on the other screen. I preferred doing this over printing out the drawing I was referencing. Prior to SW2007, I just got...
