    Full list of ASME allowed letters for revisions and view labels

    There's an old post I made on eng-tips where I provided a link to a file with a full list of letters allowed by ASME standard for revisions and view labels on drawings. That old link is outdated, so I'm providing an updated link now (using plenty of the appropriate keywords in this post to allow...

    What's the standard that specifies the size of center marks and when they should be added to holes?

    What's the standard that specifies the size of center marks and when they should be added to holes on a drawing? Almost every ASME Y drawing with holes has center marks that have a uniform shape, but where is this actually specified. Where is it specified that we should put them at the center...

    Does the ISO drafting standards actually say not to use trailing (insignificant) zeros on dimensions

    Does the ISO drafting standards actually say not to use trailing (insignificant) zeros on dimensions? If so, where? This is easy to find in ASME Y14.5-2009, but I cannot seem to find it in the ISO standards, like 129. Matt Lorono, CSWP Product Definition Specialist, DS SolidWorks Corp...

    SolidWorks World 2012 call for presentations

    If you feel that you have a good information to share about a particular SolidWorks related topic, then perhaps it is time to consider giving a presentation at SolidWorks World 2012. The perk for presenters is that you get a free Full Conference Pass (saves you just under a $1000 or so). Your...

    Mythical non-accumulative tol callout on patterns

    A practice I've seen some engineers use for a patterned row of holes is to show the linear dimension between the first two with the added statement "NON-ACCUMULATIVE". In my view, this is a poor practice, since the engineer needs to make a choice to apply the tolerence to the overall length of...

    THRU, THRU ALL and Continuous Feature

    I recently asked this quest in the Y14.5 yahoo group and got some interesting answers. Here's the question: I was just curious in seeing what is currently being done by others with the use of "THRU" on cut features. When is it necessary (if at all). What is the difference between "THRU"...

    All over?

    Did the "All over" symbol make it into the ASME-Y14.5-2009 standard? I saw mention of it recently. Matt Lorono CAD Engineer/ECN Analyst Silicon Valley, CA Lorono's SolidWorks Resources Co-moderator of Solidworks Yahoo! Group and Mechnical.Engineering Yahoo! Group

    Save as PDF with Folder Selection

    There's been a lot of discussion in this forum about macros that allow the user to quickly save a drawing or drawing view as a PDF. (such as thread559-163578 ) I recently created a new macro that addresses may of the old requests including those not previously touched. It's uploaded here...

    API - how to find named views and traverse?

    I don't have any code to post for this question yet because I cannot even find the methods to use for this: How do I get the names of the named views in a part? I wish to traverse all named views and save them to an array, then search for a particular name or names. Matt Lorono CAD...

    Pos Tol applied to pattern (how to?)

    I have a X,Y grid pattern of holes laid out flat plate. Datum A is on the facing surface. Datum B runs through the part in the X direction. Datum C runs through the center of the part in the Y direction. (See the attached drawing.) I wish to apply positional tolerance to the holes of the...

    Disable X button on forms (VBA)

    I would ask this over at the VBA forum, but it looked kinda dead over there, so I'll ask here (since this is for a macro anyway). Is there a simple method to disable the X button on a VBA form that will work within SW's VBA? On this macro Rigid Custom Properties, the X Button is taking an...
