Hopefully I'm just ignorant, but I can't for the life of me figure out a way to produce a half section in Solidworks? My end goal is to get an isometric half-sectioned view of a lathe'd piece -- for example, like http://www.tpub.com/content/draftsman/14276/img/14276_182_1.jpg ... but I can only...
Hi there -- is it possible to alter any of the hole wizard "Type" settings per config? I was hoping to fill out a design table with different NPT diams and have the wizard feature generate the NPT geometry, but seems like the hole wizard doesn't want to put itself into the design table, and for...
Hi guys. Check out this pic:

What you see is a door on hinges, supported by two cylinders. The cylinders are (right now) made out of flexible subassemblies with a limitdistance mate for extension. With one cylinder it works fine...
Hi; anyone know why when I save my drawing as a .dwg, it decides to kill off all my hidden lines (and exports the dwg that way)? The only way I have of getting it to work is to save it like this, then change every drawing view on the sheet to a different view-type, and then back to "show hidden...

Hi; I've got a problem. A previous employee made an assembly with files on one network drive letter, but now the files are on another network drive letter (Same directory otherwise). When opening the assembly, it says "cannot find file, would you like to find it yourself?" ... upon hitting yes...
Hey there, does anyone know of an epoxy or other adhesive that will glue UHMW to plain carbon steel? I've found some UHMW suppliers giving info on how they can do it, but I can't find anything that tells me a good glue to buy and use.
I've read about cleaning and brushing the metal surface, and...
Hey there, something that's been a nuisance to me is that to solidworks, a 2x3 piece of angle isn't the same as a 3x2 piece of angle. In real life, you flip it end for end and voila you've "mirrored" the profile... is there any way to do this in SW or do I need to make mirrored profiles for each...
Hi there, right now I've got two circular parts sandwiched together (totally symmetrical). there's screw holes through them, mated to position them together.
however, the screw holes are on a raised surface relative to the contacting face. SW will only put fasteners through either piece...
Hi guys... trying to set up PDMWorks at our company...
we've currently got an employee's PC set up to run the vault service (and hold the vault), and the company's file server contains our design library files.
Problem: when we try to add the design library folder from the server to the...
