    Isolation Transparency in edit

    When editing a part in the context of an assembly, all other parts change to the transparent state I set in "Options". However, if I Isolate several components and then edit a part, I cannot get the other pieces to change transparency. What's up with that? Thank you SW2007, SP 3.1 Intel Core 2...

    Rollback on error

    Hi all, When rebuilding an assembly with errors, each individual part rolls back to the feature with the error, causing errors in other dependant parts. I've searched help for some kind of setting to change, and was unable to come up with anything. I'm running SW 07 SP0.0 on a 64 bit sys. this...

    resistance in circuit

    Hi, I installed light fixtures in a large facility using a pre-fabricated cabling system consisting of mc cableand plugs at each fixture. The cables come in standard lengths, which was about 5 feet too long for the span I'm crossing, so I coiled and wire-tied them above each fixture (2 loops). I...

    bending algorithm

    Hi, I'm trying to create an NC controller for a 3 roll bender to roll light guage flat sheet parts of varying width, length, and radius. Is there any way to calculate the algorithms required to preset the roll position for a given radius, taking into consideration the width the length of the...

    Capacitor question

    How does one know if a capacitor is bad on a 1/2 hp 'permanent split capacitor' motor? I had a motor that stopped running; so I checked out the capacitor (7.5 uf) with an old style c-checker (tested fine), but doesn't drive the motor. I then installed a slightly larger capacitor (11 uf), which...

    dual core processor

    Hi, Is it just me, or are there other people that are annoyed, annoyed, annoyed to the end of their wits that SW and Cosmos don't utilize dual core processors? Seems to me if those 2 can't use it what else should be entitled to it; and here we have it sitting idle most of the time. If I could...

    X64 issue?

    Hi, I'm running SW06 sp0.0 on an 64 X2 4200+ AMD processor, 2 gb ram, ATI FireGL V3100 pci express GC and Raid 0 HDs. I'm experiencing regular short freeze-ups, and also the occasional crash (every 2 days, give or take). I tried swapping out various hardware, but noticed nothing that appeared to...

    refresh and freeze-ups

    Hi, I'm running a network version of Solidworks on a 4200 Athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor, 2 gb ram, and an ATI FireGL V3100 video card; and a 1900 X 1200 resolution. I'm having screen refresh problems (mostly when I'm zoomed in a good ways) and from time to time, also 5-10 second freeze-ups...

    SW2005 convert to dxf too many entities

    Hi I'm trying to export text from Solidworks 2005 to a dxf (or dwg) for use as a toolpath, which works alright, except that acad creates hundreds of entities (short arcs, lines, etc...) along the linepaths, which doesn't work with my machine. Is there some way to clean it up? I've tried using...
