    online certification

    Hi all, Been trying to get Tangix TesterPro to run. Apparently has issues with our system here. Tangix has issued another "to fix" order. They told me I would be able to take the exam from home. Does the CSWA/CSWP care what version is running. I have '06 home.

    Hi all, Tried my VAR for info on vouchers for free exams and he didnt know much. I logged onto the SW site and found information for the cert tests. I got voucher ids the next morning. Before I start, Do the exams require a version of SW or are they independant? Thanks

    To CSWP or not to CSWP...

    Hi all, Been a user for a number of years, mostly self taught and proficient in what I do, mainly machine design. I've seen all the SW issue manuals and not impressed with their content. Seems as though someone interested in taking the CSWP exam would need more than just a "press this button..."...

    cam paths/mates

    Hi all The curve created by the cam routine uses a series of points to generate the cam path. The resultant curve cannot be used to mate any type of follower to produce motion. Any ideas on how to change all the points to a continuous curve? Thanks

    toolbox insertions

    Hi all Ive posted related problems to this previously and have been wrestling with a solution for a while. We are on SW2005 sp5.0 in a multiuser environment.

    mate references

    Hi all Anybody know why I have no mate references in at least one type of screw(SHCS) for toolbox. I cant auto-mate these types of screws in an assembly. Other types of screws and hardware have no problems.

    Mirrored part drawing

    Hi all, Ive mirrored a part and re named it (right vs. left).When I create the drawing for the mirrored part, the views come in slightly skewed, i.e. front is not true front, etc. The mirror plane I used is correct and in the assembly the two parts view correctly. Any thoughts? SW2005 sp5.0 Thanks

    FEATURE CONTROL FRAME FOR COMPOSTE POSITIONAL TOLERANCING

    Hi all, Does anyone know how to double the feature control frame in geometric tolerancing to apply a composite positional tolerance. The double height frame needs to be attached to a single geometric characteristic symbol so I cant just add another frame. Thanks

    Toolbox hardware mating

    Hi all, Inserting washers into an asssembly via drag and drop on the corresponding hole seems to generally work, adding the appropriate concentric/coincident mate. I cant do the same with screws(usually cap screws). I get a "The document "Socket head cap screw" is already opened, Do you want to...

    CANNOT LINK BOM TO VIEW??

    Hi All I know after creating a BOM, deleting and re-creating it, the new bill will not be in the appropriate place in the feature tree. A known annoyance for a while now. But why cant I re-link the newly created BOM to a view. I can pick the new BOM but the link defaults back to "none". Any...

    HARDWARE EXCLUSION FROM BOM

    Hi All When I "exclude from BOM" all hardware thru their "properties" tabs, they change to their "default" sizes. Ive done this many times before at other places with none of these results. Makes for some very large screws. Using SW2005 sp5.0 with network located toolbox. Any ideas? Thanks
