    Single BOM showing all parts in 8 related assemblies?

    Hi: I have a top level drawing with 7 related subassemblies all residing in separate drawings (8 drawings in total & a total of 87 parts). I would like to export the BOM info for all 87 parts directly into a single Excel file. Is there a direct way to do this without resorting to macros? If not...

    mouse gestures - dial/wheel not appearing!

    Hi, I am using 3Dconnexion Space Navigator in combination with Logitech notebook mouse. When I hold RMB in the view port using the mouse the mouse gesture dial/wheel doesn't appear as it does on my colleague's machine. My colleague is using only a mouse. We are both on 2012 SP 1.0. Funny thing...

    Centrality of bore intersection - how specify using GD&T?

    In Detail -C- I want the intersection of the C.L. of the 2.0 DIA. sloped hole to intersect the C.L. of the flat bottom tap drill for the 1/4-28 threaded hole at the bottom surface of the tap drill. How should I specify this using GD&T? Walter

    Overlapping bosses

    I am currently modeling a manifold which has a series of drafted bosses that must overlap slightly. I can not pattern the seed with either linear pattern or with sketch driven pattern. They show in the preview but won't execute. Is there a way to force the completion of this command...

    sweep issue on ellipsoid

    With reference to the attached file the sweep fails as soon as I add dimensions to the initial ellipse sketch. Why is that? I was able to dimension the sweep path (the line) thus having some but not full control of the aspect ratio of the ellipsoid. How can I fully dimension this solid...

    SW07 freezes when copying exploded view

    I have an assembly with 3 config's. I exploded one of the config's. Upon copying (drag & drop) the exploded view to either of the other two config's SW freezes totally. Any ideas why? Is there a better way to explode the other two config's without doing each from scratch? finisher SW07 SP5...

    File sharing in a two man environment

    I know this has been discussed at some length but I'll ask anyway. How feasible/risky will it be for two designers to work side by side on fairly complex assemblies without benefit of any kind of vaulting or database manager (via sneaker net or a high speed, private LAN)? I just started as the...

    Modeling tip(s) desired

    Hi: The attached part is a model of a garden variety creamer that I did for practice in sweeps (SW2006 SP0). I am not happy at all with the intersection of the spout and the main revolve of the part. I did the spout as a surface sweep using two splines with a guide curve and then thickened the...
