What would Y’all recon would be the best way to get some shape file defined text out of AutoCAD into Solidworks, for a sheet format? We don’t have the font anywhere as a ttf, and solidworks wont interpret the shx file, I can text explode the text, but it’s rather thick text, that’s been filled...
Hi guys, I'm drawing some panels, which need text silk-screened on them, I've drawn the text as extruded features on the sheet metal. Now I'm drawing the art work page, and to highlight what needs silk-screening, I'm trying to hatch the text with a solid pattern, which works, except that every...
Hey guys, does anyone know how to dislodge, as it were, a section view form its parent view? I have a rather awkward view that I need to place elsewhere, not on the like perpendicular to the section line. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

yo,
I'm having problems linking custom properties in some sheet formats I'm setting up, I'll make one property equal to $PRP:"SW-Short Date", and it will work correctly, but if I save the sheet format, and use it in another drawing, when it loads, it loads whatever $PRP:"SW-Short Date"...
Does anyone have any clue how how you can change how wide a font appears for a text box in SW? It does not seem to give you any control over that, however im sure it's able to, as I can import text boxes from AutoCAD with varying widths, and they display more or less correctly, with the same...
Is there a way to get SW to return "SW-Short Date" as a mm/dd/yy format? I can't seem to find anything on this, I would have expected that it would be a setting for document properties, as that’s something that varies form company to company.
I’m setting up our sheet formats again, fun... I'm trying to set it up such that all the title block fields are filled out by custom properties, and we want the drawing titles/descriptions to be one property, that means, that for long strings, the text box has to wrap, which is where I’m having...
Does anyone know how one can select several mtext boxes, and export their combined contents to a text file? specifically if I have a bom in autocad, and want to export it to a text file. Thanks.
How can I have configurations for a part, where more that just the dimensions change? We're designing an electronic part, and I have several cables drawn, I'm trying to make two configurations for each cable, one in its normal state, and one exploded, to make the drawings more clear, I would...
does anyone know of a macro that will find the references and copy the files for a part? Its rather tedeous to have to go through every part and do it manually.
How do I create a macro that will, when run, fill out certain document properties for a part, we're using the same document properties for all our title blocks; It would be good to have a macro that we can run every time we create a part, that will automatically fill out those properties. I've...
