I have a client that wants an e-drawing of a very large assembly.
Even on my computer, rotation and zooming is extremely slow.
My VAR provided no help or suggestions at all.
Are there any tips/guidelines I can try to speed up the e-drawing?
I have a recurring problem with drawings I haven't accessed for several months:
When I open a drawing, some components are hidden in the drawing, even if all components are shown in the Assembly. To show them, I have to locate them in the feature tree and RMB -> Show/Hide -> Show Component...
I've always used Excel based BOM's without any trouble, but after reading this board, I thought I'd play around with some SolidWorks BOMs.
One thing I like about the Excel BOM is it the text always comes in on a single line, the cells fit perfectly, and you have to double-click to screw up the...
I have an ongoing problem with some detail views in assembly drawings.
When I open a drawing the first time, the model in the detail view is blank, but any annotations remain - if I switch from outlines to hidden lines, the view returns, and I can switch back to outlines and print.

I do a lot of work with aluminum cabinets, and our customers require views with doors open and closed. Our doors typically have a door stop that slides and changes angles as the door opens and closes.

I use a lot of PEM fasteners, and I would like to create specific PEM holes using hole wizard and have custom hole callouts in my drawings that reflect the PEM requirements and call out the fastener used.
I looked at "custom standards" in SW help, and it didn't do me much good. I noticed that...
I am working with a fairly large assembly, and when I click on a part either in the feature tree or in the model, my "Hide" option is unavailable. I tried "customize" in the RMB menu to see if it had been turned off, but it still wasn't there.
When I open a subassembly, my hide option returns...
I had a slowdown/crash, and before the crash, I think I pulled my command manager away from the border and closed it.
When I restarted SW, my command manager wasn't there. I RMB on the toolbar, and it said my command manager was active. I can uncheck the command manager, and my features and...
My company has a unique work order for each job, and we are often retrieving old work orders renaming all parts, assy's, sub-assy's, and drawings. We are currently using SW explorer to rename our assemblies and parts, and a batch file renamer to rename drawings.
We don't have many problems...
