    F-Theta Lens and HeNe Issues

    I'm using Linos F-Theta lens, some with the PG coating, some without. The laser source is 1064nm (Fiber) and the lenses are appropriate for the wavelength. The issue is when using the guide laser, which - although it's not really - we refer to as the HeNe, as the mark moves closer to the...

    Custom Control

    When I'm defining custom properties on a custom control - how do I define a custom property w/ only limited, defined options . For example, I have a custom control that displays an I/O channel state... one of the properties is "Channel Direction", which I have set as a boolean right now. When...

    IV11 Stability

    I've recently installed IV11 (w/ service pack 2) on my machine and have had nothing but crashes - maybe ten or more per work day. Now, I did not have this issue w/ IV10. Is there a proper method to migrate from IV10 to IV11? I'm new to IV.

    Any experience using Wacom tablets w/ Solidworks?

    Has anyone ever used a Wacom (...or similar...) tablet with Solidworks? If so, what sort of experience did you have? Also, at what point in the design process did you find it most helpful? I'm specifically interested in what I believe are classified as "pen displays" - LCDs w/ the pressure...

    Restraining a "note" to an annotation plane

    When applying 3D Annotation to a model w/ SW, any "notes" remain oriented to a plane that is perpendicular to the viewer. They will change during rotation, translation, etc to remain readable. Is there a way to restrain a "note" to an annotation plane - much like you can w/ dimensions, etc?

    Adobe 3D and 3D Annotations

    I've been tinkering with Adobe Acrobat 3D the last few days and would like to bring in SW geometry complete w/ 3D Annotations - much like you can already do w/ eDrawings. I've tried saving the geometry as a U3D file, Step 203, and Step 214, as well as a 3D screen capture, and - finally -...

    eDrawings Failing

    Everytime I try to convert a SW or SE part, assembly, or print file to an eDrawings file, eDrawings opens briefly, then errors out with a "can't read memory" error. This happens whether I try to convert from the eDrawings toolbars, use the "save as" option, or open a SW file from eDrawings...

    Changing Planes...

    I'm importing Solid Edge .PAR and .PSM files directly into Solidworks, the problem is that when they open, the planes are not correct. I'd like to "reassign" the planes so as to orient the model as I originally intended. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

    Calling out Material Condition, ie: Hardness

    What is the proper way to specify the material hardness or heat treatment on a drawing? Should I be using a "H0000" condition or just a "RC" number? Thanks.
