    3dconnexion releases SpaceNavigator

    3dconnexion released a $59 version of their SpaceTraveler today. It only has two programmable buttons and no LED lights (as far as I can tell). There is a $99 dollar version for Pro users??? I could get used to the small size and the fewer buttons for that price no problem...

    Astroid 6000 SW driver in the works.

    This may be old news but I couldn't find it in the forum. I read a post that said the Astroid 6000 would have beta SW drivers in May so I fired off an email and here is the (quick!) reply. I am pretty curious to see how their pseudo camera mode works out. Anyway looks like I will be waiting...

    Can pdf's be saved to B&W?

    All detail drawings that we create get turned into PDFs at some point. Recently I noticed that the PDF'd are being created with gray dimensions which fail to print very will. I don't know what changed to cause this but I have two questions about how to fix it. 1. Can the default layer for...

    Changing table color.

    A while back I was messing with my windows appearance and somewhere along the way I changed the color of my tables (BOM, Rev etc.) to light blue. Now my pdfs are showing up with blue text and on our colorless printers, the text is unreadable. Anyone know how to changes the colors. I have not...

    PDM toolbar buttons unresponsive.

    Has anyone had the PDMWorks buttons appear grayed (greyed?) out and nonfunctional? This seems to be random and cureable with a few SW restarts. I can go to Tools->PDMWorks.. and do what I need to from the client, but I am still confused by what is cause me to lose my buttons. Here is a...

    OT Hard drive swap due to SW.

    I know this is off topic but there are two reasons I am posting this here: 1. There is no other forum I have found that gets as many replies as this SW forum 2. SW has forced this upon me so idirectly it is SW problem My group of engineers has three RAMBUS Dells and a couple newer machines...

    Roll working copy revision back.

    I need to work on a part currently at revision 1. I would like to check it in before I am finished like a working copy "1+" and when I am finished I want to go back to 1. Is there any way to do this? Working copy does not let you. I have "Allow latest revision overwrite" enabled. I have...

    More PDM red letter confusion.

    I swear this red letter business is getting tired. My last problem involved daylight savings time, this time however... Upon check in of a file/assem that was recently checked out, certain files appear as (file w/ same name exists) red text, and, get ready, the = symbol. These files can be...

    Crashing causes loss of file and PDM prob. Anyone seen this?

    This has only happened twice to two separate engineers over the last week and a half that we have had 06 up and running. I have not been able to recreate it even though I have been able to create my fair share of crash to desktops. When saving their file two of my engineers experienced...

    Help with PDM organization.

    When we started using SW we organized our parts as follows: Folder A contains assemblies A1, A2, and A3. So in Windows Explorer you can see them listed. Now that we instituted PDMWorks, if A1 has some reference to A2 then "Project" A might only list A1, and A3, with A2 being a child of A1 and...

    PDMWorks Project Property Problem

    I am trying to bulk check-in some parts and I want to retain the 'Project' custom properties that the parts currently have. When I do so and check-in, the 'Project' information is replaced with the Project file that the parts have been checked-in under. I created a new PDM property called...
