I usually have around 20-30 sheets per design. I need each sheet to have it's own revision table. When I insert the rev table on the first sheet everything is fine. But then I try to insert the rev table on sheet2, a generic table comes in with the words "see sheet1".
Actually, I would like the...
On Friday my drawing file was 55mb. Then saturday morning, after only a few changes, I tried to save the drawing and it took about 10mins. The file size had now almost doubled to 97mb.
I have searched this site and found some info but no solid fix. (save as copy is temporary)
Any suggestions...
I have a model with two configurations. The only difference between the two is one is scaled up larger than the other. (The last feature is scale which is suppressed on the default configuration) When I edit a sketch in the default model, the change does not appear on the configuration. Isnt it...
Does anyone know of a proceedure that would create a counter bore whose depth is pre-set for the default screw lengths. For example: If I needed to use a 1/2-13 x 3" long SHCS, the counter bore would have to be a specific depth (not just the head depth that solidworks defaults to). This would...
I have an assembly with about 75 components including 1 subassembly. Everything was fine for days. But then I made a change to one of the components. Now there are rebuild icons (traffic light icons) in the main assembly feature tree. These icons go away once rebuilt at the componenet level, but...
I recently changed the names of files in a design (using swx explorer). When I opened the assembly the files were recognized but the equations were not updated with the new file names. Is there a way to make the equations recognize them?
Thanks.
I use configurations often when modeling. But when the model is imported into Mastercam only the configuration that was active whan last saved can be imported.
Does anyone know if there is a way to give Mastercam a choice of which configuration to import?
Thanks.
On Friday I finished up detailing a design with many components. But when I opened the drawing file this Monday morning many of the drawing sheets are not displaying the views of the geometry. The annotations are still there (dims, cos thrds, etc) but the model geometry is not shown. It is...
In the past I have created text in a model sketch and then modified the letter spacing, letter width, rotate, etc. (using the sketch tools => modify).
Is there a way to modify text the same way in a drawing? I have text that i need to mirror and rotate.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

When I change my tap size I would like the C'bore to change size accordingly. Is there a way to make a tap hole associative to the c'bore without using the word equation?
Thanks.
I recently have had very large circles appear in one of my components. I found this thread that delt with it but I dont see where there was a resolution.
Does anyone have any info on this problem?

I cant get cosmetic threads to show up in my assembly drawing. But they show up just fine in the detail drawing (same compenent).
I researched the topic here and found this comment: "Starting with SW2005, cosmetic threads have to be inserted into drawings of assemblies".
Is this true? I would...
I have been keeping all of my project drawings within one file. (One drawing file per project) This means that a large assebmly will have many drawing sheets in the drawing file. - Is this typical swx practice? If so how can you switch from different sheets without scrolling to find the tab...
I have a drawing that has been scaled 1:2 to fit an e size format. When I export it to DWG I want it to be full model scale. I have selected the 1:1 scale out put in the options but still is not full. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I have added cosmetic thread to a hole wizard feature and I see the hidden line in the drawing. But I dont see the hidden line in the part model. Should it be? (I want it to)
Thanks.
I am trying to project a simple sketch onto faces. But I keep getting the error "sketch not suitable...more than one open/closed profile". Does this mean that a sketch has to be a closed or single segment in order to project it?

I have a partial section view in a drawing that I would like to make a projection view. (no section) I am not able to modify the section sketch to be outside of the part geometry. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
