    SW2007 Explorer/PDM Question

    We've just gone thru the upgrade process with 2007 and finally realized that PDM had been integrated with SolidWorks Explorer now. Now we are upgrading to the latest sp4.0. My question is (since I saw no sp for PDM except enterprise) is do we no longer have to upgrade the PDMWorks server? I...

    BOM Items Not Correct for Top-Level w/ Sub-Assy

    Hello, I have SW 2006 SP4.0. I have a top-level assy that has in it the following: 1. A sub-assy consisting of parts A, B, C, & D. The option is checked for children not to show in the BOM when this assy is used as a sub-assy. Therefore, it shows as 1 part number in my bom. 2. The top-level...

    Parts' Annotaions Displaying at Assy Level

    I have SW 2006 SP4.0 I have annotations showing in my part (driven & ref dimensions in sketches marked for the drawing). The options for both the part and assy specify to show annotations. But the annotations for my part are not showing in my assembly. SW help says "Display annotations /...

    SW Priority

    Has anyone assigned a higher priority for SW in their task manager? Mine is normal by default, but I was wondering if it would help to set it higher? Task Manager help says changing priorities may adversely affect performance of other processes. Is anyone familiar w/ this? Thanks

    Link Property to Sub-assy Description

    I'm attaching a note to a small sub-assy (a ball valve w/ an actuator on it). We call the sub-assy out as one part (3" Ball Valve w/ Electric Actuator). But when I link the note to the sub-assy's description, the only option that seems to pertain to me is to link property to "component to...

    Mate Stability SW 2006

    Good Morning. I am running SW SP1.0 and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing mate instability in any of the 2006 service packs. By instablility I mean getting a message stating that you cannot create a (parrallel, perpendicular, distance, concentric, coincident, angular, or other) mate...

    sldworks.exe - Application Error

    Although I have been getting this error for a long time, and trying to unsuccessfully chase down a way to get rid of it, I've seen it the most today. Yesterday/today we uninstalled all our software and upgraded to SW2006 SP1.0 and upgraded PDMWorks. I have been converting the files on my...

    Missing "File" "Window" and "Help"

    I'm hoping that someone know how to fix this... Somehow, I have lost my "File," "Window," and "Help" pulldowns from the upper-most standard toolbar ONLY in my assembly files. Very irritating. The last thing I remember doing is turning on the toolbox add-in. I tried unchecking and...

    2006 - Are you using lightweight?

    If anyone has had much experience in 2006 with large, lightweight assemblies, have you noticed a slow-down opposed to "resolved?" In my assembly (105 parts, 44 sub-assemblies) I set everything to lightweight. I then noticed a major slowdown in performance and repeatedly crashed when attempting...

    Tool-Tips to Blame???

    Good Morning, My colleagues and I are experiencing slowness in our models, which seems to caused by, for one, tool-tips. Dragging parts into assemblies from the feature manager tree especially causes problems, and the tool-tips seem to "flicker." Sometimes we can click in the viewing area...
